Pap smear
3.40
A Pap smear, also known as a Pap test, is a routine screening procedure typically performed every 3 years to detect abnormal cervical cells. During a Pap smear, a healthcare provider collects cells from the cervix using a small brush or spatula. In a conventional Pap smear, these cells are then smeared onto a glass slide and sent to a laboratory for examination under a microscope.
The purpose of a Pap smear is to identify any changes in cervical cells that may indicate precancerous or cancerous conditions, allowing for early intervention and treatment. Regular Pap smears are an essential part of women's preventive healthcare, as they can help prevent cervical cancer by detecting abnormalities early when treatment is most effective.
