Evidence-based guides written by Dr. Mathias Odera Aketch and the Luna Care clinical team to replace fear with knowledge.
Understand the difference between high-risk HPV DNA screening and cervical cytology (Pap smears), recommended screening intervals for women aged 25–65, and how early detection prevents 90% of cervical cancers.
Precancerous cervical cell changes (dysplasia) rarely cause symptoms at first. Learn how routine screening, same-day digital colposcopy, and 15-minute outpatient thermocoagulation protect both your life and fertility.
Cervical cancer is 90% preventable, yet it remains one of the most common cancers affecting women in Kenya. Understanding how Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and regular cervical screenings work together is your strongest defense.
High-risk strains of HPV—particularly HPV 16 and HPV 18—are responsible for the majority of pre-cancerous cervical cell changes. Because HPV infections rarely cause early physical symptoms, screening tests are essential even when you feel completely healthy.
An abnormal Pap smear or positive HPV result does not mean you have cancer. At Luna Care, we offer same-day outpatient digital colposcopy (completed in under 30 minutes) so Dr. Aketch can closely inspect the cervix and guide your next steps with zero delay.
When precancerous cervical lesions are detected early, treatment is simple, fast, and preserves your fertility. Waiting for symptoms to appear often delays care when intervention could have been effortless.
Cervical dysplasia develops slowly over several years. Through routine Pap smears, HPV DNA testing, and magnified digital colposcopy, our clinical team can spot microscopic changes long before they become invasive.
If precancerous changes are confirmed, Luna Care offers WHO-recommended thermocoagulation—an outpatient procedure completed in under 15 minutes without anesthesia that destroys abnormal cells while preserving healthy cervical tissue and future fertility.
But only if we act early. Don’t wait for symptoms. Call our reception line today to speak directly with our team and schedule your visit in confidence, clarity, and care.
