What a Pap smear does
The Pap smear (Pap test) collects a small sample of cells from the cervix. A laboratory checks the cells for changes that could develop into cervical cancer if left untreated. Finding changes early means they can usually be treated simply.
Most cervical cancers are linked to high-risk HPV, so an HPV test is often done alongside the Pap smear.
- We recommend cervical screening with an ultrasound every 6–12 months as part of a routine check-up
- Your doctor may suggest a different interval based on age and previous results
- Women with abnormal results or HPV are usually followed up more closely
