HPV Screening Made Easier with Urine Sample
Thu, 26 Jun 2025Early Cervical Cancer Detection Is Now as Easy as a Urine Test
Dear Sahabat PRAMITA,
Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer affecting Indonesian women. Ranking second after breast cancer, it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the absence of early symptoms. In fact, over 90% of cervical cancer cases are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infection, which is detectable early.
Now, screening is easier than ever. The HPV DNA urine test offers a practical, comfortable, and non-invasive option. No need for cervical sampling—just collect your first morning urine. Cervical cells naturally shed into the urine can reveal the presence of high-risk HPV.
Benefits of this test include:
No fasting required
Non-invasive and painless
Can be done independently
Comfortable and practical
Accurate in detecting high-risk HPV
This test is especially recommended for women with abnormal Pap smear results, those who are sexually active, or those with risk factors such as smoking, poor intimate hygiene, or family history of cervical cancer.
Preparation Guidelines:
No sexual activity 24 hours before the test
Ensure clean and dry genital area
Avoid testing during urinary tract infection
Consult your doctor if pregnant
WHO also recommends HPV screening as a key strategy in eliminating cervical cancer globally. With PRAMITA, protect yourself early—because prevention starts with detection.
