Routine Gynecological Test
Pap smear is an effective method of examining the cells of the cervix (the neck of the female womb) for any abnormalities that might indicate a high likelihood for the development of cancer or early cancer. HPV testing is often done concurrently to identify high-risk strains of the virus linked to cervical cancer. Pap smear is a test that is far too important to skip and doing so means cervical precancerous changes may go undetected until they have reached an advanced stage or turned into cancer.
