We now offer a self pap service that our patients can do themselves. Completing a pap in the privacy of your home is a great new alternative for women. A self-administered cervical cell collection system allows you to complete the test in our office or at your home and we coordinate the submission of the test and the receipt of test results. Overseen by our doctor, a self pap makes the annual exam more accessible and affordable to our patients. The test can screen for:
- Cervical Cancer, abnormal cervical cells
- HPV
- Trichomoniasis
- Herpes
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
At your appointment with Dr. Shannyn you will be given the kit and instructions for how to complete the test. You may complete the test at our office or at home. The collection is then sent to the lab, and results are available within a week.
Simple, comfortable and easy to perform, the self pap you can do yourself is a great alternative. Call us today for more information at (619) 772-1164.
