Annual Checkups and Prevention | Cervical Cancer Screening and Prevention
Age specific pap smear screenings are typically performed during our annual wellness exams. Abnormal pap smears are evaluated by colposcopy per ASCCP guidelines. If colposcopy is concerning for severe cervical dysplasia, i.e. high risk for cervical cancer in the future, we would recommend a Loop Electrode Excision Procedure (LEEP) to remove the precancerous lesion. LEEP’s are typically performed in clinic under local anesthesia. We also offer the HPV vaccine series for prevention of cervical dysplasia.
