What is a Pap Smear?

A Pap smear involves collecting a small sample of cells from the cervix and analyzing them for abnormalities. This test plays a crucial role in detecting precancerous changes and certain infections, helping to prevent the progression to cervical cancer.

Regular Pap smears are recommended for:

  • Women aged 21 to 65.
  • Women who are sexually active.
  • Those with a history of abnormal Pap results or increased risk factors, such as HPV.

Your healthcare provider at MedLife Care will personalize your screening schedule based on your age, health history, and lifestyle.
