Cervical Cancer Screening
(HPV DNA Self-Test)
Private . Comfortable . Accurate
Cervical cancer can be prevented with regular screening, yet many women avoid Pap smears because of discomfort, embarrassment or anxiety.
To support women who prefer a gentler option, Greenhealth Family Clinic in Tampines now offers the HPV DNA self-test. This is a modern cervical cancer screening method that you can perform yourself in privacy.
The self-collection kit uses a soft swab to collect a vaginal sample without a pelvic examination. Research shows that PCR-based self-collected samples are as accurate as doctor-collected ones for detecting high-risk HPV, the virus linked to most cervical cancer cases.
This option may be suitable for women who prefer privacy or feel anxious about Pap smears. The process is simple. You can collect the sample at home or in the clinic, store it at room temperature, and return it the same day or the next day. Your results will be reviewed by our doctor and sent to you through email.
If you prefer a more private and comfortable way to undergo cervical screening, the HPV DNA self-test provides an alternative that many women find easier and less stressful.
