Understanding Cervical Cancer
4th Most Common Cancer Among Women in Singapore
Cervical cancer affects the neck of the womb (cervix) and is the 4th most common cancer among Singaporean females. Regular screening is essential for early detection and prevention.
Highly Preventable with Early Detection
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early through regular Pap smear screening and HPV DNA testing. Early detection leads to highly effective treatment outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q; What is included in the Complete Cervical Cancer Screening Package?
The package includes both ThinPrep Pap Smear ($70.85) and HPV DNA Testing ($196.20) at a bundled price of $245.25, saving you $21.80. This comprehensive screening provides maximum protection by detecting both cervical abnormalities and high-risk HPV strains that can cause cancer.
Q: What makes ThinPrep better than conventional Pap smear?
ThinPrep is a liquid-based cytology method that provides significantly clearer cell samples compared to conventional Pap smear. This results in more accurate detection of cervical abnormalities, fewer inadequate samples, and reduced need for repeat testing. ThinPrep is considered the gold standard for cervical cancer screening.
Q: How often should I get screened?
For most women, screening is recommended every 3 years if you have had sexual intercourse. If you are HIV positive, annual screening is recommended. You should start screening by age 25 and can stop after age 65 if your recent tests have been clear.
Q: How do I prepare for my Pap smear?
Schedule your appointment at least 5 days after menstruation ends. Avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal creams, medications, or tampons for 2 days before your test. Wear comfortable, two-piece clothing for the procedure.
Q: Is the Pap smear procedure painful?
The Pap smear is generally not painful. You may feel slight pressure or discomfort during the brief procedure, but most women find it tolerable. Our experienced female medical staff ensure your comfort throughout the screening.
Q: What is HPV DNA testing?
HPV DNA testing detects the presence of high-risk Human Papillomavirus strains that can cause cervical cancer. It complements Pap smear screening and can be done using the same sample. This helps identify women at higher risk who may need more frequent monitoring.
Q: When will I get my results?
You will receive your comprehensive screening report within one week. The report includes doctor’s review and recommendations. If any abnormalities are detected, we will contact you promptly for follow-up.
Q: Do I need screening if I've never had sexual intercourse?
If you have never engaged in sexual intercourse, Pap smear screening is not needed. However, you should consult a doctor if you experience any abnormal vaginal discharge or concerning symptoms.
Q: Can I claim this with my company benefits?
Yes! We provide official receipts for medical claims. Please check with your HR department about your company’s health screening benefits coverage.
Q: Should I get the bundle or individual tests?
The Complete Cervical Cancer Screening Package ($245.25) is recommended for comprehensive protection. It includes both ThinPrep Pap Smear and HPV DNA Testing at a savings of $21.80 compared to purchasing them separately. This provides the most complete cervical cancer screening available.
