Cervical, ovarian & endometrial cancer screening
Early detection plays a crucial role in the successful treatment of cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. Dr. K. Monika Reddy, a dedicated Obstetrician, Gynecologist, and Fertility Specialist, offers comprehensive screening services to identify these cancers in their early stages, allowing for better outcomes and increased survival rates.
Cervical Cancer Screening
Cervical cancer, often caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), is one of the most preventable types of cancer through regular screening. Dr. Reddy provides routine screening for cervical cancer through:
🔹 Pap Smear Test – A simple, painless procedure to collect cells from the cervix to check for abnormal changes that could lead to cancer.
🔹 HPV Testing – For detecting the presence of high-risk HPV strains that increase the risk of cervical cancer.
🔹 Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) – A low-cost, quick test for detecting cervical abnormalities in resource-limited settings.
Ovarian Cancer Screening
Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at a later stage, as symptoms may be subtle. Dr. Reddy recommends the following screening measures for early detection:
🔹 Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS) – A non-invasive imaging test that can detect ovarian cysts or masses.
🔹 CA-125 Blood Test – A blood marker test that can detect elevated levels of a protein often associated with ovarian cancer.
🔹 Pelvic Exam – A physical examination to check for abnormalities in the ovaries and uterus.
Endometrial Cancer Screening
Endometrial cancer affects the lining of the uterus and is often linked to hormonal imbalances. Dr. Reddy offers screenings that include:
🔹 Endometrial Biopsy – A small sample of the uterine lining is taken to detect abnormal cells.
🔹 Ultrasound – To measure the thickness of the endometrium and identify any abnormalities.
🔹 Hysteroscopy – A procedure where a thin, lighted tube is inserted into the uterus to directly view the lining for signs of cancer.
