A Pap smear, also known as a Pap test, is a routine screening test used to check for cervical cancer or pre-cancerous cells in the cervix. Here are some key points about the test:
-
Purpose: The test helps detect abnormal cells that could potentially develop into cervical cancer.
-
Who Should Get Tested: It's generally recommended for people with a cervix, starting at age 21 and continuing until at least age 65.
-
How It's Done: During the test, a healthcare provider collects cells from the cervix using a small brush or spatula. The sample is then examined under a microscope for abnormalities.
-
Frequency: Most doctors recommend getting a Pap smear every years if previous results have been normal.
