FAQ
- How often should you undergo a gynecological check-up in Dubai?In most cases, a regular check-up by a gynecologist is enough to undergo once a year. If certain conditions are detected, examinations may be more frequent, for example, once every 6 months or once every 3 months.
- How often should a PAP-test be done?If the result of the PAP-test is negative (no dysplasia or cancer cells are detected), then the PAP-test is recommended to be performed at least once every 3 years. If a human papillomavirus (HPV) test was performed along with the PAP test and it also did not reveal high-risk viruses, then a repeat test is recommended at least once every 5 years.
- Is testing for human papillomavirus included in the STD panel?Screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) is not usually included in the STD panel. This is an independent analysis that is performed using the PCR method. The analysis includes the identification of many viruses, which are designated by serial numbers. Some viruses are low risk, for example types 6 and 11 - they can cause the formation of condylomas, but do not cause dysplasia and cancer. Another part of the viruses is considered high risk, for example types 16, 18, 31, 33, since they can cause the development of dysplasia and cancer.
- When and how often should you have a mammogram?Most screening programs today recommend mammography every year starting at age 40.
- Is it possible to find out about hereditary predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer?Yes, such genetic tests exist and are available in Dubai. To do this, you need to take a blood test to check for special mutations. If such mutations are identified, more active surveillance and, in some cases, preventive treatment will be necessary.
