What is a Pap test?
The Pap test is a simple and quick gynecological examination that helps in the preventive evaluation of the cervix. Through proper sample collection and assessment, early cellular changes can be detected and monitored appropriately.
When is it recommended?
The frequency of testing depends on age, medical history and medical guidance. For many women, the Pap test is part of the annual gynecological check-up, while in other cases a different follow-up plan may be advised.
Consistent prevention is important even when there are no symptoms.
What does an abnormal result mean?
An abnormal result does not necessarily mean something serious, but it does indicate that proper medical evaluation is needed. Depending on the finding, a repeat test, HPV assessment or colposcopy may be recommended.
