Of course man.. must always check. People at young age group has the highest risk of getting it! The age range is 20-35 for teratomas!!! whoo.. scary

teratoma n hernia is a huge difference bro..

Surely! I was refering to balls cancer when I asked if you have checked yourself for it!

haha.. though u dunno..

You think there's any relationship between hernia and balls cancer?

Stay on topic.

Thanks for the gentle reminder. So any pap smear experiences to share people?

as i know, pap smear only to see cancer cell( clue cell), so if there is infection, can it be detected by pap smear test?

infection is usually detect by high vaginal swap and culture+sensitivity..

the main purpose of pap smear is look at the cell morphology... however, in some case, for research purpose, they do virology test from the cell sample for HPV infection.

i see.. just want to know, is it possible that we could detect infection under pap smear test coz there would be lots of inflammatory cells there..

Of course, why not?

yeah, becoz normally people do pap smear to see cancer cell only..

Well, check out reports of pap smears. Or, even under the classification you'll see "inflammatory cells" in the list!

Generally you dont rule out infection with this..come on, there's so many other ways! There would be symptoms man!

yeah, so now i know, it is possible to detect infection under pap smear test..

one, we can detect the inflammatory cells,
then if there is a pus, we can took it for culture & sensitivity

But how many per cent does the women do their pap smear?

haha.. that u need to ask the primary care lor..

In this country? Less than half the number of people who SHOULD do a pap smear.. Main reason? Ignorance..

and perhap, not much publicity lor..

publicity is there, but ppl feel too embarassed to get their privates examined and cells taken....In the UK, there is a call back system for ppl who miss their pap smears when its time to take them, therefore their coverage rate is quite high. We dont have that here yet. Ppl usually forget or dont bother with their screening especially since it is only to be done 3 yearly.

Anyways, with reference to your earlier post, clue cells are found in bacterial vaginosis, the atypical cells in pap smears have a whole range of classifications based on the Bathesda system.
