What is Private Cytology?
Private cytology is an examination that involves collecting and analyzing cells from the cervix to detect any abnormalities that may indicate the presence of pathological conditions, including cervical cancer.

This examination is a key tool in preventing cervical cancer and is recommended for women of all ages who are sexually active.
