Abnormal changes and disruptions can occur in the cells of the cervix. These altered cells are called "precancerous cells (cellular dysplasia)."
The purpose of a smear test is to detect these changes before they develop into cancer. This allows women to receive treatment easily before the cancer reaches an advanced stage.
The main cause of normal cervical cells becoming precancerous is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
HPV causes genital warts and the formation of precancerous cells (dysplasia) in the cervix. HPV is most commonly transmitted sexually. In our country, there has been a recent increase in HPV-related warts and precancerous cervical lesions.
The smear test is an effective, easy, and painless procedure for detecting these precancerous changes at an early stage. Thanks to the smear test, cellular changes can be treated before they develop into cervical cancer. After treatment, the woman makes a full recovery, can become pregnant, and avoids the need for hysterectomy, radiation, or drug therapy.
