Vaginal Smear (Pap)

A Vaginal Smear, commonly known as a Pap test, is a cervical screening test in which a small sample of cells is gently taken from the cervix. It is quick and a key part of women's preventive health care.

The test looks for early changes in the cervical cells that, if left unchecked, could in time lead to cervical cancer. Detecting these changes early means they can be monitored or addressed before any problem develops.
