What is a "Papanicolaou smear"?
A Papanicolaou smear, commonly known as a Pap test or Pap smear, is a test used to identify abnormal cells in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. During the test, cells are gently scraped from the cervix and examined under a microscope. This test helps to find early signs of cervical cancer or cells that could become cancerous in the future, allowing for early treatment if needed. The Pap smear is an important part of routine gynecological care and can significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer through early identification and treatment.
