Conventional Method

The Conventional Method in cytopathology measures the presence of abnormal cellular morphology, particularly in cervical cytology, to screen for and diagnose pre-cancerous or cancerous conditions.

This kind of test provides valuable information on blood parameters, hormone levels, organ function, and more. It is performed for several reasons, including: • Diagnosing diseases and conditions • Monitoring treatment effectiveness • Assessing organ function • Evaluating overall health status • Detecting abnormalities or imbalances in the body

The By Conventional Method test may be recommended in the following situations: • When there are unexplained symptoms or health concerns • To monitor chronic conditions or ongoing treatments • As part of routine check-ups to assess overall health • For pre-employment or pre-operative evaluations • Based on a doctor's discretion considering individual patient needs

If the results of the By Conventional Method test are abnormal, it may indicate an underlying health condition or disease.

The procedure is generally simple and painless. Here's what to expect: • You may be asked to provide a sample of blood, urine, or other bodily fluids. • The sample collection process is usually quick and straightforward. • The samples will be sent to a laboratory for analysis using established techniques.

To prepare for the By Conventional Method test, follow these guidelines: • Fasting: In certain cases, fasting before the test may be necessary. Your doctor will provide specific instructions if needed. • Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking as they may interfere with the test results. • Other instructions: Your doctor will provide any additional instructions based on your specific needs.

Depending on the specific health concerns, your doctor may order additional tests alongside the By Conventional Method test. These may include: • Imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to assess internal structures • Microbiological tests to identify infections or pathogens • Genetic tests to evaluate inherited conditions or assess disease risk

Pap smear or Pap test

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that connects to the vagina. It is primarily caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Cervical cancer often starts with the gradual development of precancerous changes in the cells of the cervix, which, if left untreated, can progress to invasive cancer. Common symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, and unusual vaginal discharge. Regular cervical cancer screening, such as Pap smears or HPV testing, is crucial for early detection and successful treatment, and vaccines are available to prevent certain HPV infections that can lead to cervical cancer. Treatment options for cervical cancer may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination thereof, depending on the stage and extent of the disease.
