cervical screening
Check for abnormalities
Cervical screening is a medical test to detect abnormal cells in the cervix before they develop into cancer.
The procedure, also called a Pap smear or Pap test, involves collecting cells from the cervix for laboratory analysis.
Regular screening is recommended for women and others with a cervix, typically every few years depending on age and health guidelines.
