Pap Test

The Pap test is a cervical cancer-screening test and can also detect other cervical changes due to inflammation and viruses.

The Pap test is done by gently rotating a soft brush inside the cervical opening. After all specimens are obtained the speculum is then closed and removed.

The Pap test sample is place in a solution and sent to an area laboratory for evaluation.
