Female Health Package

Clinic One serves around 10,000 people annually and is also renowned as one of the best clinics
in Kathamndu providing Full Body Checkup.

Female Full Body Checkup is slightly different from Full Body Checkup. The female health
package primarily focuses on the health of women. Cervical cancer is the commonest
malignancy among women in Nepal. Every year 2,332 women are diagnosed with cervical
cancer and 1,367 women die from the disease. Cervical cancer ranks as the first most frequent
cancer among women in Nepal and the first most frequent cancer among women between 15
and 44 years of age. Fortunately, the incidence of cervical cancer has decreased by 50% in the
past 30 years largely due to the increasing use of cervical cancer screening and HPV Vaccine.
The mainstay of cervical cancer screening has been Pap Smear Test which is available at our
clinic.

All the important and necessary checkups are included in this package. Some of the vital
checkups included are explained in detail below:

1. Breast Ultrasound

● What is Breast Ultrasound?

- A breast ultrasound is an imaging technique that is commonly used for screening for
tumors and other breast anomalies. Using higher frequency sound waves, the ultrasound
creates clear pictures of the inside of the breast. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, ultrasounds
do not use radiation and are considered safe for mothers who are pregnant and breast-
feeding.

● Why is Breast Ultrasound important?

- If a suspicious lump is found in your breast, your doctor may conduct an ultrasound of
the breast. An ultrasound helps the doctor to determine whether the lump is a fluid-filled
or a solid tumor. It also lets them decide the position and lump size. Although an
examination of the breast can be used to identify a lump in the breast, it cannot be used to
decide whether the lumps are cancerous. This can only be determined if a tissue or fluid
sample is taken from the lump and examined in a lab. Your doctor may perform an
ultrasonic guided core needle biopsy to obtain a tissue or fluid sample. Your doctor will
use a breast ultrasound as a guide during this procedure while removing the tissue or fluid
sample. The sample would then be sent for review toa laboratory. You may feel nervous
or scared while waiting for the results of the biopsy, but its important to remember that
four out of five breast lumps are benign, or noncancerous.
 2. What is the Pap Smear Test?

- Pap Smear Test / Papanicolaou test is a procedure to test for cervical cancer in women.

It is the method of cervical screening used to detect potentially precancerous & cancerous

processes in the cervix by exfoliating cells from the cervix and analyzing them microscopically.

During the Pap Smear Test, the collected cells are released into a vial of liquid preservative that

is used in a laboratory to produce a slide for microscopic evaluation of cells.

Pap smear remains an effective and widely used method for early detection of precancerous &

cervical cancer. It may also detect infections and other abnormalities.
