What is a pap smear?

A pap smear is a quick and painless procedure that involves collecting cells from the cervix to check for any abnormalities or signs of cervical cancer. It is recommended for all women between the ages of 21-65 years old, regardless of whether they are sexually active or not.

What to Expect at Your Pap Smear

During a pap smear, you will be asked to undress from the waist down and lie on an exam table with your feet in stirrups. Our doctor will insert a speculum into your vagina to get a clear view of the cervix. They will then use a small brush or spatula to collect cells from the cervix. The entire process usually takes less than five minutes.

Pap Smears for Preventative Care

Regular pap smears can help detect early signs of cervical cancer, which is highly treatable if caught early. This service also allows us to check for any other gynecological issues, such as infections.
