Cervical Cancer Screening

cervical cancer awarness
A Pap smear, or Pap test, looks for changes to the cells on the cervix that could become cervical cancer without the appropriate treatment.

In a Pap test, your doctor will use an instrument known as a speculum to widen the vagina so they can collect cells and mucus from the cervix and the surrounding area. These will be analyzed by a lab to see if they look normal.

An HPV test looks for the human papillomavirus, which can cause dangerous changes to these cells. This can be conducted using the cells obtained in the Pap test.

When Should Women Be Screened For Cervical Cancer?

It is recommended that women start getting Pap tests at age 21, although sexually active women might choose to get them sooner.

It may take a few weeks to receive your results. If something appears to be abnormal, your doctor will contact you for a follow-up, but keep in mind that this does not usually mean you have cancer; there could be other reasons for unusual results.

If your results are normal, you may be able to wait three years before getting the next test.
