A Pap smear test is a routine screening procedure for cervical cancer in women. It’s a simple and effective way to detect abnormal cell changes on the cervix before they develop into cancer.
What to Expect During a Pap Smear Test
The doctor will gently insert a speculum into your vagina to hold it open. A soft brush is then used to collect a sample of cells from the surface of your cervix. The collected cells are then sent to a laboratory for examination under a microscope.
Who Should Get a Pap Smear Test?
The American Cancer Society recommends that most women between the ages of 21 and 65 get a Pap smear test every 3 years. However, the frequency may vary depending on your individual risk factors. It’s important to discuss your specific needs with your doctor.
Benefits of a Pap Smear Test
A Pap smear test is a vital tool for early detection of cervical cancer. Early detection allows for more effective treatment options and significantly improves the chances of a full recovery.
