Eleanor Roosevelt at the first anniversary celebration of the opening of the Strang Clinic (now the Strang Cancer Prevention Institute), an infirmary for women and children, April 26, 1934. May Strang, niece of Chauncey Depew, who with her sister, Dr. Elise L'Esperance, founded the Strang Clinic in memory of their mother, is shown pouring tea for Mrs. Roosevelt.

The Clinic was devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Dr. L’Esperance collaborated with Drs. May Edward Chinn and George Papanicolaou, whose research led to the early detection of cancer of the cervix. This resulted in the Pap test. In 1940, Strang was the first medical facility to introduce it into clinical practice.

So I went to have my smear test today…

Yeah. Didn’t happen. After several weeks of wanting it out the way, I literally had a panic attack as the nurse tried to open my legs and she had to call my mum. My mum came in, we tried again… I literally thought I was going to pass out. Nurse ended up not doing it because I was resisting.

I feel so ashamed and embarrassed. I can’t even do this one thing.

Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and  can affect women of all ages. However, it is most often diagnosed in women between  35 and years of age.

 Causes of cervical cancer:

 The main cause of cervical cancer is infection with  human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus. There are more than 100 different types of HPV, and some types can cause cervical cancer. Other factors that can increase the risk of  cervical cancer include smoking,  a weakened immune system,  a family history of cervical cancer, and  multiple sexual partners. 

 Symptoms of cervical cancer:

 Cervical cancer does not necessarily cause symptoms in its early stages. As the cancer progresses, symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or discomfort, pain during intercourse, and unusual vaginal discharge. It is important to note that these symptoms can be caused by other diseases, so it is important to consult a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. 

 Prevention and early detection of cervical cancer:

 The most effective way to prevent cervical cancer is  the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that cause most cases of cervical cancer, as well as against other types of HPV that can cause other types of cancer. The vaccine is recommended for  males and females between  9 and 26 years of age.

 Regular cervical cancer screening is also important for early detection. A Pap test is a test that checks for abnormal cells on the cervix. It is recommended that women start regular Pap tests from the age of 21. In addition, the new  HPV test can also detect the presence of the virus that causes cervical cancer. Women should discuss with their healthcare provider which exams are right for them. 

 Treatment of cervical cancer:

 Treatment of cervical cancer depends on the stage of the cancer and other factors such as the woman's age and general health. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments.

  In summary, cervical cancer is a common female cancer  that can be prevented by vaccination and detected early by regular screening. Women should consult with their health care provider to determine  appropriate screening and vaccination. If cervical cancer is diagnosed, early treatment can lead to a better outcome.

Still the anon abt the pat test... When they release one and say it's positive then that's the end for me. Coz you can't fake a pat test. (I'm sorry but I can't stan a dead beat father who can't even take care of his son that the baby momma literally has to depend on a sugar daddy to provide for the child's needs. )But I know they won't bc F is not his. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but Louis never did address this issue. About F not being his son?

Hello first off they are never actually going to take a pap test bc the kid isn't his and it would be negative.

So the real thing would be them FAKING a pap test saying he got one and it was positive bc how would anyone know if he actually got one or not. All they would have to do is claim he got one and say it was positive they would never actually half to get one done. Tho I do think someone can alter a pap test if they secretly gave someone else's you know what.

BUT I really don't think they will ever come out with a fake postive pap test story bc they wouldn't have gone to extreme measures in 2016 to shut down rumors of Louis having gotten a pap test saying he doesn't plan to get one bc he "trust briana" if they wanted to later say he got one and it's positive.

It's been proven time and time again that kid is not his [ie the kid looking just like the clarks and only like louis when his pics have clearly been edited] and not much happens with BG these days so I don't worry to much. I just wish it would officially end so this innocent child was free and louis was officially cut from that crazy family.

As for your question on Louis addressing the rumors LMAOOO NOPE he can easily address a 1D leaked demo of him singing stating how he is uspet it was leaked but not rumors about his son not being his.

The Importance of Pap Tests in Women’s Health and Their Role in Detecting and Preventing Conditions like Endometriosis

Pap tests, also known as Pap smears, are a crucial aspect of women’s healthcare, playing a vital role in the early detection and prevention of various gynecological conditions. One such condition is endometriosis, a common yet often undiagnosed condition that can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. Understanding the importance of Pap tests in women’s health and their connection to conditions like endometriosis is essential in promoting early detection and effective management of health concerns.

Understanding Pap Tests

A Pap test involves the collection of cells from the cervix to examine for any abnormalities. The primary purpose of this screening is to detect precancerous or cancerous changes in the cervix. However, it can also provide valuable insights into other gynecological conditions, including endometriosis.

Importance in Women’s Health

Early Detection of Cervical Cancer

Pap tests are instrumental in the early detection of cervical cancer, which, if left undetected, can lead to serious health implications. Regular screening through Pap tests can help identify abnormal cell changes in the cervix, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.

Early detection of cervical cancer is crucial for improving treatment outcomes and increasing survival rates. Here are key methods and strategies for early detection: 

Regular Pap Smear Tests: Pap smear tests, also known as Pap tests or cervical cytology tests, are the primary screening method for cervical cancer. During a Pap smear, cells from the cervix are collected and examined under a microscope for abnormalities. The American Cancer Society recommends that women aged 21 to 29 should have a Pap smear every three years, while women aged 30 to 65 can choose to have a Pap smear every three years or a combination of Pap smear and HPV (Human Papillomavirus) test every five years.

HPV Testing: HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer. HPV testing can detect high-risk strains of the virus that are associated with cervical cancer. In some cases, HPV testing may be performed in conjunction with Pap smear testing as part of cervical cancer screening. HPV testing is recommended for women aged 30 and older, either alone or in combination with a Pap smear.

Screening Guidelines: It’s essential for women to follow screening guidelines recommended by healthcare professionals. Screening intervals may vary depending on age, risk factors, and previous screening results. Regular screening can help detect precancerous changes in cervical cells before they develop into cancer.

Awareness of Symptoms: While cervical cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages, women should be aware of potential signs and symptoms, including abnormal vaginal bleeding (such as bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause), pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and unusual vaginal discharge. Any concerning symptoms should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider.

Vaccination Against HPV: HPV vaccines are available to protect against certain strains of the virus that are associated with cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers. Vaccination is recommended for boys and girls aged 11 to 12, although it can be administered as early as age 9. Vaccination can help prevent HPV infection and reduce the risk of cervical cancer in the future.

Regular Gynecological Examinations: Routine gynecological examinations are important for monitoring overall reproductive health and detecting any abnormalities or changes in the cervix or vaginal area. Women should schedule regular check-ups with their healthcare providers, even if they are not experiencing any symptoms.

Early detection of cervical cancer through screening and preventive measures can significantly improve outcomes and increase the likelihood of successful treatment. It’s essential for women to prioritize cervical cancer screening and maintain open communication with their healthcare providers regarding their reproductive health and screening needs.

Detection of Other Gynecological Conditions

In addition to cervical cancer, Pap tests can also aid in the detection of other gynecological conditions such as endometriosis. While not a direct diagnostic tool for endometriosis, abnormalities in the Pap test results can raise suspicion and prompt further investigation for this condition.

Connection to Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus, known as the endometrium, starts to grow outside the uterus. This can lead to severe pelvic pain, infertility, and other complications. While Pap tests are not designed to diagnose endometriosis, they can indirectly contribute to its detection and prevention.

Indirect Indications of Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a complex and often challenging condition to diagnose, as its symptoms can vary widely among individuals. While there are no definitive tests to diagnose endometriosis without surgery, there are several indirect indications that may suggest the presence of the condition. These indications include 

Pelvic Pain: One of the hallmark symptoms of endometriosis is pelvic pain, which may vary in intensity and duration. The pain may occur before, during, or after menstruation and may worsen over time.

Painful Menstruation (Dysmenorrhea): Women with endometriosis often experience severe menstrual cramps that are not relieved by over-the-counter pain medications. The pain may radiate to the lower back and thighs.

Chronic Pelvic Pain: In addition to menstrual pain, women with endometriosis may experience chronic pelvic pain that persists throughout the menstrual cycle and may not be related to menstruation.

Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia): Endometriosis can cause pain during sexual intercourse, which may be deep or sharp and can persist after intercourse.

Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Some women with endometriosis may experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, or rectal pain, particularly during menstruation.

Urinary Symptoms: Endometriosis can also cause urinary symptoms, including painful urination, urgency, frequency, or blood in the urine, especially during menstruation.

Infertility: Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility in women. It can affect fertility by causing pelvic adhesions, inflammation, and ovarian cysts that can interfere with ovulation and implantation.

Fatigue: Chronic pain and the physical and emotional toll of living with endometriosis can lead to fatigue and exhaustion.

Irregular Menstrual Bleeding: Some women with endometriosis may experience irregular menstrual bleeding, including heavy or prolonged periods, spotting between periods, or bleeding after intercourse.

Family History: Endometriosis tends to run in families, so women with a close relative (such as a mother or sister) with the condition may be at higher risk.

Prevention and Early Intervention

Regular Pap tests enable healthcare providers to monitor changes in cervical cells over time, facilitating the early identification of abnormalities. In the case of endometriosis, prompt identification and intervention can help alleviate symptoms, prevent potential complications, and improve the overall management of the condition.

Pap tests play a crucial role in the overall well-being of women, not only by aiding in the early detection of cervical cancer but also by indirectly contributing to the identification of conditions such as endometriosis. By emphasizing the importance of regular Pap tests, women can take proactive steps towards safeguarding their reproductive health and addressing potential gynecological concerns in a timely manner. Additionally, healthcare providers should continue to promote awareness about the significance of Pap tests and their role in promoting women’s health and well-being.

I was unsure of how to manage a pt's pap and HPV results. The pt is a 30 y/o who had a pap with HPV co-testing, which showed normal cytology, but positive untyped HPV (so it was negative for the high risk types of HPV). From what I could find in her previous records, she had had a previous pap 3 years prior that showed ASCUS. I used the ASCCP app to try to figure out what needed to be done next. The app didn't help. It said to use clinical judgment. So I asked one of the OB/Gyn docs and she said to repeat the pap in 1 year. So if this ever happens again, now I know how to manage it. I think it's the ASCCP app that's supposed to help you make the management decisions, but it didn't help with this. I think there may be another app that helps with this, but I don't know what it's called.
