Iminyaka, ukuphela kwendlela yokuhlola umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho kwakuyi-Pap smear. Kwathi ehlobo eledlule, i-FDA ivume enye indlela yokuqala ehlukile: ukuhlolwa kwe-HPV. Ngokungafani ne-Pap, ethola amangqamuzana omlomo wesibeletho angajwayelekile, lokhu kuhlolwa kuhlola i-DNA yezinhlobo ezahlukene ze-HPV, ezinye zazo ezaziwa ngokubangela umdlavuza. Futhi manje, izifundo ezimbili ezintsha zikhombisa ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwe-HPV kunganikeza imiphumela enembe kakhudlwana kwabesifazane abaneminyaka engama-25 nangaphezulu.

Nakuba lokhu kujabulisa, ungase ungafuni ukushintshela esivivinyweni esisha okwamanje. I-American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) isancoma ngokumelene nokunika abesifazane abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-30 ukuhlolwa kwe-HPV. Esikhundleni salokho, beluleka ukuthi abesifazane abaneminyaka engama-21 kuya kwengama-29 bathole nje iPap smear njalo eminyakeni emithathu, bese kuthi abesifazane abaneminyaka engama-30 kuye kwengama-65 benze okufanayo noma bahlolelwe ndawonye (iPap smear ne-HPV test) njalo eminyakeni emihlanu. (Ngabe iGyno yakho ikunikeza izivivinyo ezifanele zezempilo yezocansi?)

Isizathu sokuthi i-ACOG iyeke ukusebenzisa ukuhlolwa kwe-HPV kwabesifazane abasebasha? Cishe amaphesenti angama-80 abo athola i-HPV ngesikhathi esithile empilweni (imvamisa ineminyaka engama-20), kodwa imizimba yabo iyalisusa igciwane lilodwa ngaphandle kokwelapha isikhathi esiningi, kuchaza uBarbara Levy, MD, usekela-mongameli we-ACOG wokukhuthaza. Kukhona ukukhathazeka ukuthi ukuhlolwa njalo kwabesifazane abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-30 ye-HPV kuzoholela ekuhlolweni kokulandela okungadingekile futhi okungaba yingozi.

Iphuzu eliyinhloko: Okwamanje, namathela kuPap wakho ojwayelekile noma, uma uneminyaka engama-30 noma ngaphezulu, ukuhlolwa kwakho kwePap-plus-HPV, bese ucela i-ob-gyn yakho ukuthi ikugcine wazi ngezincomo zakamuva. Ngemuva kwalokho hlola lezi zinto ezi-5 Odinga Ukuzazi Ngaphambi Kokulandela I-Pap Smear Yakho.
