What you need to know
Understanding the Screening Journey
Gynecological cancers—including cervical, ovarian, and endometrial—often develop silently. Screening is not about looking for a disease, but about finding "peace of mind" through regular monitoring. At Aikya, we specialize in "Fertility-Preserving Oncology," where we identify risks early enough to treat them while protecting your Oocyte/Egg Health and uterine integrity.
The Aikya Screening Protocol: Step-by-Step
- Risk Assessment: A detailed review of family history and lifestyle factors at our J.P. Nagar or Raghuvanahalli Branch.
- Cervical Screening (Pap Smear): A simple, painless test to collect cells from the cervix to check for abnormalities.
- HPV DNA Testing: High-precision molecular testing to identify high-risk strains of the Human Papillomavirus.
- Advanced Imaging: Using 3D/4D Ultrasound to visualize the ovaries and uterine lining for unusual growths or thickness.
- Tumor Markers: Specialized blood tests (like CA-125) used as indicators for ovarian health monitoring.
- Diagnostic Follow-up: If an abnormality is found, we provide Diagnostic Laparoscopy for a closer, minimally invasive look.
Precision Diagnostics & Safety
We utilize the latest liquid-based cytology (LBC) for Pap smears, which significantly reduces "false negatives" compared to traditional methods. Our specialists prioritize your comfort, ensuring that screenings are quick and stress-free. For younger patients, we also provide guidance on HPV vaccination to prevent cervical issues before they even begin.

Important Considerations
What to discuss with your doctor
Please consult our specialists to understand how these considerations apply to your individual case.
- Screening is not Diagnosis: An abnormal screen does not always mean cancer; it often means further investigation is needed.
- Regularity Matters: A single "clear" test is great, but consistency (every 3–5 years) is what provides long-term protection.
- Emotional Wellbeing: We understand screening can be an anxious time; our team provides Counselling for support.
