HPV in Samsun

What is HPV?

HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is a common family of viruses that can be sexually transmitted and have more than one hundred types. A significant proportion of women with sexual life encounter this virus at some point in their lives; The vast majority of encounters are cleared by the immune system and pass without leaving any trace.

The main difference is this: while low-risk types can lead to genital warts, prolonged body retention of high-risk types can pave the way for cellular changes in the cervix. Therefore, we treat HPV not as a diagnosis to be feared, but as a process governed by regular follow-up.

In what cases is it applied?

The most common reasons for applying under this heading are:

• Abnormal cell detection in the smear test

• Positive HPV testing or prompting for typography

• Wart-like swells in the genital area

• Getting information about the vaccine and assessing eligibility

• Request for screening after HPV detection in partner

• Control and monitoring in people who have previously been treated

What services does it cover?

In Samsun HPV follow-up, the process usually begins with screening: smear testing and HPV testing (HPV typing) that investigates high-risk types. If there is a suspicious finding in the results, colposcopy is planned where the cervix is examined in detail with a magnifying device; Biopsies are taken during the same procedure if deemed necessary.

HPV vaccine is included on the prevention side; The number of doses and suitability is determined by age and story.

We determine which step is necessary for you, by reading your results together.
