Can A STD Test For Women Detect Abnormalities In The Cervix?
I m wondering if when a doctor runs test for a std (for a woman) if there was another thing wrong (like cervical cancer) would they happen to see that too? They were only looking for std s but I m wondering if they would have seen something else even if they weren t looking?

Hello,
The STD test indicate possible infection with chlamydia, herpes, human papilloma virus and other bugs, while tissue abnormalities such as epithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ and others require a cervical biopsy of the local part.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
