HPV Self-Sampling Screening

Convenient, Private, and Reliable HPV Screening

HPV DNA Self-Sampling

Cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable disease when detected early. 

At Regis Medical, we offer HPV DNA self-sampling—a simple, private, and effective screening method that empowers women in Singapore to take control of their cervical health.

What is HPV 

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus, with most sexually active adults contracting at least one type in their lifetime. While most HPV infections clear up on their own, persistent infection with certain high-risk types (such as 16 and 18) can lead to cellular changes in the cervix. These cellular changes, if left undetected and untreated, may progress to cervical cancer.

In Singapore, cervical cancer ranks as the 10th most common cancer among women. This statistic underscores the urgency of proactive measures, such as HPV vaccination and regular HPV screening, to combat the risks posed by the virus. HPV vaccination offers a vital defense against the diverse spectrum of HPV strains, protecting women from the threat of cervical cancer and related health complications. Take a step towards safeguarding your health by considering HPV vaccination today.

HPV DNA Self-Sampling: Empowering Women

HPV DNA self-sampling is a new approach to cervical cancer screening that allows women to collect their own cervical cells for HPV testing. This method offers a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional Pap smears, which require a speculum examination by a healthcare professional.

Who are recommended for HPV Self Sampling

  • Aged 30 and above: This is the age group where cervical cancer risk starts to increase significantly. 
  • Who are overdue for their Pap smear: Self-sampling offers a convenient way to catch up on cervical cancer screening.
  • Who experience discomfort or anxiety during Pap smears: Self-sampling provides a more comfortable alternative.
