Cervical screening during pregnancy
Unlabelled:
A retrospective study done to assess the efficiency of cervical screening in the form of smear testing in pregnant population. We selected one hundred women who had undergone cervical screening during booking visit in one particular unit. Results of tests along with datas regarding age, parity and previous smear history was compiled. Results were compared with Western Health Board figures. 58% smears were normal, 6 % abnormal and 36% unsatisfactory. Although incidence unsatisfactory smears were very high, but incidence of abnormal cytology matched with standard.
Conclusion:
Pregnant women are no more likely than the general population to have a frankly abnormal smear. Despite its limitations we recommend antenatal screening does have a role in the absence of National Cervical Screening Programme.
