Understanding HPV and Cervical Health

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus affecting the skin and mucous membranes. There are 200+ types; some high-risk strains are linked to cervical cancer, while low-risk strains may cause benign conditions such as genital warts. Regular screening and vaccination significantly reduce the risk of complications.

HPV-Related Conditions

HPV infections can affect multiple areas of the body, leading to:

  • Precancerous cervical lesions
  • Cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers (linked to high-risk HPV strains)
  • Genital warts (caused by low-risk HPV strains)
  • HPV-related changes in other areas such as the throat or respiratory system

While most HPV infections resolve spontaneously, ongoing screening and vaccination are key to prevention and early detection.

A few wards for BADER MEDICAL CENTRE. They are perfect. Not only the doctors, but the team as well. My doctor is, Maria Papadopoulou. I know her about 3 years and that I need to say, she is very professional, knowledge, sympathy and polite. Most important all they have something, and we call in Greece. Filotimo. One by one even the manager. I say thank you very much 😊

I came across the Bader Medical Institute through a social media advertisement for the Emsella treatment. I decided to make an appointment and everyone I’ve dealt with has been very professional but also supportive and empathetic to me. They always have time for my questions and if I need to rearrange my appointment they have always been able to accommodate me. My therapist Charoula is the most helpful person, she always has a smile on her face and offered to stay late for me when I could only make a very late appointment time. The treatment has been amazing and I would definitely recommend Charoula and the Bader Institute.

FAQs About Cervical Health & HPV

How can HPV infection be prevented?

The HPV vaccine is the most effective way to prevent infection from high-risk strains. Vaccination is recommended for girls and boys aged 12–13 and can be given up to age 26. It protects against key strains associated with cervical cancer. Regular screening remains essential to detect abnormal cells early.

  • Women aged 25–64 should have routine cervical screening (as advised by their doctor).
  • HPV testing may be performed alongside a Pap smear to identify high-risk strains.

What is a Pap smear test?

A Pap smear (Papanicolaou test) is a screening test that collects cells from the cervix to look for abnormal changes that could lead to cancer.

How is a Pap smear conducted?

During the test:

  1. A speculum is gently inserted to visualise the cervix.
  2. A soft brush/spatula collects a small sample of cervical cells.
  3. The sample is sent to the lab to check for abnormalities.

The procedure is quick and usually only mildly uncomfortable.

How often should I have a Pap smear?

General guidance:

  • First screening typically between ages 25–30 (based on individual risk).
  • Ages 25–49: every three years.
  • Ages 50–64: every five years.
  • More frequent testing may be advised after abnormal results or HPV detection.

What is a colposcopy and how is it performed?

Colposcopy is a detailed examination of the cervix following an abnormal screening result. A colposcope (magnifying device) allows closer inspection and, if needed, a small biopsy.

    1. You’ll be positioned in a standard gynaecological chair.
    2. A speculum is inserted to expose the cervix.
    3. A mild solution highlights abnormal areas.
    4. The doctor examines the cervix and may take a tiny tissue sample.

What is the DYSIS colposcopy system?

We use DYSIS advanced colposcopy to enhance diagnostic accuracy:

        • Advanced imaging software to detect abnormal areas
        • High-definition digital images for precise analysis
        • Detailed reports to support clear follow-up plans

What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?

Early cervical cancer may have no symptoms — hence the importance of screening. Possible later signs include:

      • Abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, after intercourse, or post-menopause)
      • Pelvic pain or discomfort
      • Unusual vaginal discharge
      • Pain during intercourse

Seek medical attention promptly if you notice any of these.
