Another better essential HPV cervical screening program is being carried out across Northern Ireland.
It checks for a disease called HPV - the reason for most cervical tumors.
Presence of the disease is the earliest sign that a lady might be in danger and is thusly better for demonstrating on the off chance that treatment is required.
Dr Joanne McClean, overseer of general wellbeing at the General Wellbeing Organization (PHA), depicted the move as a "critical achievement".
She said the screening project would "increment capacity to recognize early cell changes that could prompt malignant growth".
HPV test implies ladies can securely have less spreads
What is the HPV antibody and who can get it?
17,500 cervical smear tests to be re-checked
From Monday, the main contrast is that all smear tests will currently be checked for the high-risk kinds of HPV in the principal case.
In the event that the infection is viewed as present, the example will go for additional assessment.
This eliminates the requirement for all examples to likewise go through cytology which is tedious and obstructs the screening framework.
What is HPV?
Practically all instances of cervical malignant growth are brought about by an infection called human papillomavirus (HPV).
It is normal, with around eight out of 10 individuals getting it sooner or later in their lives.
It is predominantly spread by skin-to skin contact during sexual action.
HPV in the cervix occurs through sexual contact.
Just specific kinds of HPV can cause cervical malignant growth and are known as high-risk-types.
In few cases, HPV in the cervix can form into a steady contamination.
Determined contamination with high-risk HPV can make the cells in your cervix change - these progressions can form into disease.
Signs and side effects of HPV include:
Vaginal draining after sex, between periods or after the menopause
Vaginal release that isn't typical
Diligent back or stomach torments
Torment during sex
Dr McClean said this was a "more spry and focussed model" which would permit results be to conveyed for most ladies all the more rapidly.
Before this test was accessible, labs could search for dubious cells in smear tests that propose disease may currently be available or could create.
Having HPV disease precedes unusual cells begin to create.
Screening isn't a test for malignant growth - it is a test to assist with forestalling disease
