Pap Smear (also known as Pap test) is a vital screening procedure used to detect early signs of cervical cancer and other abnormalities in the cervix. A Pap smear is a simple, quick test that involves collecting cells from the cervix—the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. These cells are then examined under a microscope to identify any abnormal changes that could indicate the presence of pre-cancerous conditions or cervical cancer.
