Heath
care experts all across the globe are of the opinion than an educated lifestyle
with dietary schedule does keep a lot of diseases at bay. You need to be aware
of the medical conditions and being part of medical examinations on a regular
basis is the essence of life. You need to take care of your body as this is the
place where you reside. The trend is that women are part of breast exams, body
tests or pelvic examinations. The thing that you need to understand is that
female body functions in a different manner as compared to the male body. The
general functions like respiration, digestion are similar with all men as well
as women. The underlying difference is the reproductive system between a man
and a woman.
A
woman is prone to menstrual cycle apart from the changes during pregnancy and childbirth. Because of this
precise reason women are prone to various diseases like the ovaries , cervix
etc. Can abnormal cervical cells during pregnancy emerge; the answer to this
question is that it needs to be carried on to check the functions of the body.
It
works out to be a simple procedure, where from the female body cervix cells are
taken and then studied in the lab. Normally two samples of cervix are collected
with the help of a brush. The samples are then evaluated. As per medical
experts any woman who is above the age of 21 years should get a Pap smear test
done. It could be done if someone is sexually active for 3 years or more. Can a pap smear be abnormal due to pregnancy
arise or not, but it is safe on all counts. The main cause of it is HPV which
gives way to cervical cancer. Though a woman falling prey to this form of
cancer is on the rarer side and this is all the more so with women who have not
had a history of sexual intercourse. It is suggested that you be part of this
test as suspicious activities could be curtained during the time of the
examination.
Any
appointments for this test should be scheduled 10 to 15 days after the last day
of your period. Till your doctor is not keen to test the flow, it is not
suggested that you be part of this test if you happen to be menstruating 12 to
24 hours before the appointment. No form of creams or vaginal douching is
suggested at this point of time as well.
You
can undertake this Pap test at the time of pregnancy as well. The only point of
difference that is witnessed is that an increase in the levels of blood flow is
noticed as well. There is another school of thought that a Pap smear test could
be undertaken parallel to the main test, so that you can figure out where you
stand.
