"The Food and Drug administration has approved the U.S.'s first at-home alternative to the Pap smear, a procedure generations of women [and nonbinary and trans people with uteruses] have dreaded and often found painful.

The new device by Teal Health will offer a "much preferred experience," the company said in its announcement, and also aims to increase screening rates by making the procedure more convenient.

Traditionally, gynecologists have inserted a cold metal speculum deep into a woman's vagina to scrape cells from the cervix.

The Teal Wand — "built with empathy," the company said — uses a swab to collect a vaginal sample. Women will then mail the sample to a lab that will screen for HPV (human papillomavirus), the virus that causes nearly all cervical cancers. A growing body of research has found HPV testing to be highly accurate.

The FDA approval Friday [May 9, 2025] follows a U.S.-based study that found at-home screening was just as effective as that done in a doctor's office. The study also found women overwhelmingly preferred self–screening at home, and said they'd be more likely to stay up to date with cervical cancer screenings that way.

Every year, about 13,000 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed, and more than 4,000 women die from the disease. Rates are down dramatically since Dr. Georgios Papanicolaou published a 1943 paper on how to use the Pap smear for screening, and it then became common.

But about a quarter of women in the U.S. are behind on such screenings, and medical experts say reducing that is key to the ultimate goal of eliminating cervical cancer. There's also a racial gap, with Black and Native American women far more likely to die from cervical cancer than white women. The HPV vaccine for teen and preteen girls, introduced in 2007, has also led to a global push to tackle the disease that way.

At-home cervical cancer screenings are already available in several other countries, including Australia and Sweden.

Teal Health says its self-testing device will be available starting next month [June 2025], in California first and then expanding. It will be by prescription, through a telehealth service, for women 25-65 years old who are "at average risk." The company says it's working with insurance companies to provide coverage."

Friend, I have a few people I think you should talk to:

That goes to a spreadsheet list of doctors who will perform tubal ligation on anyone 21+, regardless of how many kids they've had or if they have their husband's permission. Because of the nature of their inclination, you might be able to get hysterectomies out of them too.

i really really hate having a uterus

[useless-englandfacts]

Following the news that Kate Middleton has in fact been diagnosed with cancer, I’d like the take the time to offer some information on cancer in afab people and some charities to support.

Cancer is a very personal and scary thing to face, and according to Cancer Research UK, every two minutes in the uk someone is diagnosed with cancer. Over 182000 women in the uk are diagnosed every year.

Almost half of all cancer cases are diagnosed at stages 3 & 4, and screening rates for breast and cervical cancers have fallen in the last few years in England and Scotland.

According to The Eve Appeal, around 60 afab people are diagnosed with gynecological cancers alone every day in the uk, and 21 of them will not be able to receive appropriate treatment in time.

People around the world are woefully uneducated about cancer as a whole, but the stigma and lack of proper knowledge given to the public and young afab people about our own bodies means that we often go under diagnosed, or are too afraid or ashamed to see a doctor until it’s too late.

I’ll be listing some informational pages to help people learn about the signs of breast and gynecological cancers that I believe every young person with an afab reproductive system needs to know. On the pages from The Eve Appeal and Breast Cancer UK there is also information for transgender and intersex people.

All of these sites have information on how to identify possible markers of cancer, information on how to get tested, and on how to donate to their charities. I highly suggest everyone regardless of gender identity have a look through to potentially help yourself or a loved one.

It’s over.

It’s finally over.

I’m free.

Had my final appointment at the cancer clinic today.  It was a pelvic exam and colposcopy to make sure that I was all healed up inside after the hysterectomy and that there were no traces of any abnormalities.  I’d been anxious about the appointment for WEEKS.

It wasn’t my surgeon who saw me, it was one of her associates, but she was so kind and understanding and empathetic that I felt good about it going into the procedure. The procedure itself was super un-fun given how one of the symptoms of menopause is vaginal dryness/atrophy.  All the lube in the world didn’t make that speculum go in any easier and it hurt like hell, but once it was in place it was fine.

After a thorough look and feel and a LOT of anxiety on my part, the doctor pronounced me fully healed and fit to return to all activities.  She said that there is no need for them to see me again, that this is it, but that if I have any concerns come up or any questions in the future or issues related to any pelvic health, to give them a call back and they’d take me back on without question.

That said, though, I never need another pelvic exam.  I never need another pap test.  I never need to deal with all of the menstrual bullshit again.  I can bid cancer goodbye and good riddance.

It’s actually, finally over.

(Inspired by this post, but separate to avoid derailing.)

I’m going to get more personal here than I would really like to, but I know a lot of other people have had awful gynecologist experiences, and I hope sharing both the negative and positive experiences could help.  

I have had three Pap smears. The first two were traumatic, not in a hyperbolic way but in an “I cried about them to my therapist when trying to face the idea of having to get another one and she specifically called it medical trauma” kind of way. 

For me, they were extremely painful, and I was told “no it isn’t,” both by the doctors in the moment and by everything I was able to look up about Pap smears afterwards. Counterintuitively, I was also told that if it was painful, it was because I was doing something wrong. The only people I saw saying Pap smears hurt were other women who had had terrible gynecologist appointments and who were also planning on never going back.

After my first experience, I did what you are supposed to and warned my next doctor that my last experience was painful. Some warning signs that I should have left and found a different doctor include that she acted inconvenienced by that idea, and then was actively annoyed by my admission that I’d never had penis-in-vagina sex, because that would presumably have made it easier to insert the speculum. I went through with the procedure with her anyway, and she somehow couldn’t reach my cervix at first and guilted me for it while actively rooting around in my vagina. I felt like I had to go through with it once it had started, but I kind of wish I had exercised my rights and called it quits. Which is something you can absolutely do. If you’re uncomfortable with the way your doctor is talking to you, or if you think something is going wrong and your doctor is ignoring your needs, you can call off the whole thing and go somewhere else.

Aside from the physical pain and misplaced blame, in both of my bad experiences I was explicitly told that part of the problem was that I wasn’t having “real sex” (referring, of course, to penis-in-vagina sex). If anyone ever asks, I will confidently tell them that the most homophobic experiences I’ve had have been in the gynecologist’s office. 

After years of being nagged by my primary care doctor and multiple therapy appointments, I researched my options and was able to find a specifically LGBTQ+ aligned clinic. In my research, I also found that, while gynecologists seem to understand and discuss the need for trauma-informed practice, it is hard to find gynecologists who describe themselves as trauma informed.

At my third Pap smear, I explained my past experiences to the doctor. After listening, the doctor gave me a list of options that could suit a variety of comfort levels. These included a traditional Pap smear, the doctor trying to swab my cervix without using a speculum, and me self administering the test in private, also without a speculum. I chose the last one, and she gave me a swab and detailed instructions on what to do. The only risk to this approach was the possibility that I might not get a usable sample. In that case, I would have to come back to the office to try again. I was able to get a usable sample on the first try, and it was so quick and easy that I’m honestly baffled that this isn’t how Pap smears are usually administered.

Some green flags at this appointment included that I was given space to explain my past experiences, I was not criticized or judged for those experiences, and the conversation about what I needed happened before any move toward the exam table. In fact, that doctor never even touched me. I was also given clear explanations of my options, and the doctor explicitly included the option of leaving the office without getting a Pap smear at all.

Pap smears do not have to be painful or traumatic, and I’m angry that I had to have the first two experiences before the third. I understand that there is probably a reason the traditional method is preferred, but I strongly believe that by actually presenting patients with options and treating us with respect, getting a Pap smear can become a significantly less awful experience. And if patients don’t feel dehumanized and abused for experiencing pain during an objectively unpleasant procedure, they might actually get the tests done. 

I have been one of the women who considered just never getting any more Pap smears, in spite of the risks, and I’m glad I had an experience that changed my mind. I hope others who have had negative experiences, or even who are worried about it, are given the choices I was and are able to advocate for themselves and be heard and respected.

I don't know if this is your department but what would happen if a complete hysterectomy was medically necessary (cancer) in the middle of puberty?

Hi Anon,

This is technically not my department - a patient undergoing this would be under the care of a gynecologic oncologist, and a fertility specialist will also probably be a part of the team.

That said, I can discuss the physiology of what would happen:

Uterine cancer in an adolescent is exceedingly rare, and a total hysterectomy would be a treatment only of last resort. The result of a hysterectomy is that the person would become unable to become pregnant.

If the uterus is taken but the ovaries are spared, the person would still go through puberty as normal, developing female secondary sex characteristics, but they would just never menstruate. They would still ovulate, and could theoretically produce a biological child using in vitro fertilization (when eggs are retrieved surgically and fertilized outside the body) and a surrogate to carry the pregnancy.

If both ovaries also had to be removed in addition to the uterus (exceedingly, very very, super rare), the young person would become permanently sterile (no more eggs), and need to receive estrogen hormone replacement therapy to ensure proper growth and health. Estrogen isn't just responsible for the menstrual cycle or for feminizing features - it's also important for bone and cardiovascular health.

For those who are wondering how rare this is:

The annual incidence (how many people per year get a thing) of gynecologic cancers in adolescents (age <18) is 6.7 per MILLION. Of those, 87.5% are of the ovary and only 2.5% are of the uterus. So, out of a MILLION adolescent AFABs, 5.6 people will get ovarian cancer, and 0.2 will get uterine cancer.

That's 2 out of 10 MILLION!

The good news is the survival rates for these cancers is very high!

If this is your situation, Anon, I am very sorry to hear about it. I wish you good health and excellent care!

Introduction to Gynecologic Oncology (cancer)

What is Gynecologic Oncology?

Gynecologic oncology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on cancers affecting the female reproductive system. This field combines expertise in gynecology with oncology to provide comprehensive care for women facing these challenging health conditions. The reproductive organs that fall under this specialty include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva.

Understanding gynecologic oncology is crucial for women’s health awareness, as these conditions can affect women of all ages, though some are more common in certain age groups. Early detection and proper medical care can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life for patients.

Common Types of Gynecologic Cancers

Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer often develops silently, making it one of the more challenging gynecologic cancers to detect early. Women may experience symptoms like bloating, pelvic pain, or changes in eating habits that persist for several weeks.

Cervical Cancer

This type of cancer primarily affects the cervix and is often linked to certain viral infections. Regular screening through Pap tests has dramatically reduced the incidence of advanced cervical cancer in many countries.

Uterine Cancer

Also known as endometrial cancer, this condition affects the lining of the uterus. Unusual bleeding, especially after menopause, is often the first sign that prompts women to seek medical attention.

Vulvar and Vaginal Cancers

These are less common but equally important to understand. They may present as persistent itching, pain, or visible changes in the genital area.

Risk Factors and Prevention

Understanding Your Risk

The risk of gynecologic cancers in women can be influenced by a number of factors. Age is one of these factors; women over 50 are more likely to develop many of these malignancies. But risk levels are also influenced by genetic and family history. Lifestyle choices like food, exercise, and smoking can affect risk. Certain malignancies may be more likely to occur in women who have inherited genetic alterations.

Prevention Strategies

While not all gynecologic cancers can be prevented, there are steps women can take to reduce their risk. Frequent health check-ups and screenings are fundamental for early detection of cancer and it also ensure you are free from all kinds of diseases. Being active in day to day life, taking proper balanced nutrition and regular exercise supports overall well-being both.

Vaccination against certain infections, when appropriate and recommended by healthcare providers, can also be protective.

The Role of Specialized Care

Why Specialized Care Matters

Gynecologic oncology requires specialized knowledge and experience. These medical professionals understand the unique aspects of cancers affecting the female reproductive system and can provide tailored treatment approaches.

Finding the Best Gynecologic Oncologist Specialist in Delhi involves researching credentials, experience, and patient care approaches. Specialized centers often offer multidisciplinary teams that work together to provide comprehensive care.

What to Expect from Specialist Care

A gynecologic oncologist will conduct thorough evaluations, including detailed medical histories and appropriate examinations. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive well-coordinated care.

These specialists stay updated with the latest developments in their field and can offer access to advanced treatment options and clinical trials when appropriate.

Importance of Early Detection

Recognizing Warning Signs

Changes in your body should not be ignored at any situation. Persistent Symptoms like abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, or changes in bathroom habits.

Regular Screening Programs

Participating in prescribed screening programs can help discover cancer early when they are most treatable. Different screening tests are advised for different age groups and risk levels.

Support and Resources

Emotional and Practical Support

Gynecologic cancer can be overwhelming. Having access to support services, including counseling, support groups, and educational resources, is an important part of comprehensive care.

Building Your Healthcare Team

Working with the Best Gynecologic Oncologist Specialist in Delhi means having access to a team approach. This might include nurses, social workers, nutritionists, and other specialists who can address various aspects of care and recovery.

Moving Forward

Understanding gynecologic oncology empowers women to take charge of their health. Regular check-ups, awareness of symptoms, and access to specialized care when needed are key components of maintaining reproductive health.

Remember that advances in medical science continue to improve outcomes for women facing these challenges. Early detection, appropriate treatment, and ongoing support can make a significant difference in both treatment success and quality of life.
