PAP Smear

PAP Smear is a cervical screening test used to detect abnormal, precancerous, or cancerous changes in the cells of the cervix. During the procedure, cells are gently collected from the cervix and examined under a microscope for abnormalities. This test plays a crucial role in early detection of cervical cancer and conditions that may develop into cancer if left untreated. PAP Smear also helps identify infections and inflammatory changes. Regular screening significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer by enabling early intervention. It is commonly recommended as part of routine women’s health checkups and preventive care.
