The best and safest way to determine if you do have cervical cancer is to make an appointment with a gynocologist. They are trained specialists and have the equipment to test for this and get accurate results.
To determine if you have cervical cancer, you will need to undergo a pap test and pelvic exam. These are routine procedures that should be done once a year.

Cervical cancer is caused by infection with human papillomavirus. Inflammation in the cervix alone will not cause cancer. Talk to your health care provider for information about your pap or biopsy results, and what they mean in the context of your cervical cancer screening history.
Yes. You do not need to pay to get cervical cancer.
CPT 87591 is for gonorrhea testing. It is often added to cervical cancer screening.
A pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It does not diagnose cancer. It points out which patients need further testing, typically colposcopy and biopsy, to check for cancer.
No, it is not. But it has a genetic component, and if your family history includes one or more individuals who have had it, then your chances of getting it go up a bit. How much? Your physician will advise you. Just be sure your physician knows your complete family medical history, and be sure to take care of yourself to stay healthy.Cervical cancer is not genetic. The vast majority of cervical cancer cases are caused by an HPV viral infection.HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that is extrememly common for both men and women. It is important to know that a positive HPV test or an abnormal Pap test does not mean that the patient will develop cervical cancer.Certain types of HPVs are known to be more aggressive, and it is important to get tested for HPV to know if you have a high risk type HPV.With appropriate clinical care and appropriate testing, the risks of developing cervical cancer are extremely low. Even if a patient has a high risk HPV that can be more aggressive, appropriate clinical care can greatly reduce the risk of the development of cervical cancer.
A Pap smear is not a clinical chemistry test; it is a screening test used to detect cervical cancer or pre-cancerous changes in cervical cells. Clinical chemistry tests typically involve the analysis of blood and other body fluids to assess a patient's health status.
