Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pap smear?
A Pap smear is a screening test that collects cells from the cervix to detect precancerous or cancerous changes. It's quick, simple, and can prevent cervical cancer through early detection.
Does Pap smear hurt?
Most women feel only mild discomfort during a Pap smear - similar to a pelvic exam. It takes just a few minutes. Relaxing during the procedure helps reduce any discomfort.
When should I get a Pap smear?
Start at age 21, then every 3 years until 29. Ages 30-65, get Pap + HPV test every 5 years or Pap alone every 3 years. Stop after 65 if prior tests were normal.
What do abnormal results mean?
Abnormal results don't mean cancer. They indicate cell changes that may need monitoring or treatment. Your doctor will explain results and recommend follow-up if needed.
