HPV testing and typification
Approximately 80% of the sexually active population will be affected by some form of HPV (human papilloma virus) at some point in their lives. The virus is particularly dangerous for women. Therefore, it is crucial to detect the high-risk types (HPV 16, HPV 18) as soon as possible, because in many cases they may be responsible for the subsequent development of cervical cancer.
The HPV test can clearly detect infection at the earliest stage. Typification allows us to determine whether the infection is low or high risk.
HPV infection can be successfully cured with specific treatment and has a high chance of preventing cervical cancer.
HPV infection causes no symptoms in most cases, but smoking, eating unhealthy, lack of exercise and an overactive sex life are considered risk factors. To rule out HPV and make an accurate gynecological diagnosis, it is recommended to get an HPV test every year as part of your annual check-up.
Precise diagnosis and reliable results
The evaluation of the sample is handled by experienced cytologists in one of the country's most advanced laboratories, equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. This means that HPV infection can be detected before it causes visible, noticeable lesions. The results and evaluation are sent by e-mail.
Quick and pain-free examination
The HPV test is a quick and painless diagnostic test. Thanks to our experienced gynecologists, the swab may only cause a few moments of discomfort, depending on your individual sensitivity.
Individual, personalized treatment plan
If the results indicate that further testing or additional treatment is necessary, you can consult with our gynecologist, who will prepare a personalized treatment plan and prescribe any required medication to eliminate the infection.
During the examination
To perform the HPV test, our gynecologist uses a special sampler to take a swab sample from the surface of the uterine cavity and the initial part of the salivary duct, which will be analyzed in the laboratory using a PCR test. Our gynecologist will then decide if further tests and topical treatments are required.
