Key Points: • a Pap Test and Pelvic Exam Are Important Parts of A
Key Points: • A Pap test and pelvic exam are important parts of a woman’s routine health care because they can detect cancer or abnormalities that may lead to cancer of the cervix (see Question 3). • Women should have a Pap test at least once every three years, beginning about three years after they begin to have sexual intercourse, but no later than age 21 (see Question 6). • If the Pap test shows abnormalities, further tests an/or treatment may be necessary (see Question 11). • Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the primary risk factor for cervical cancer (see Question 13). 1. What is a Pap test? The Pap test (sometimes called a Pap smear) is a way to examine cells collected from the cervix (the lower, narrow end of the uterus). The main purpose of the Pap test is to find abnormal cell changes that may arise from cervical cancer or before cancer develops. 2. What is a pelvic exam? In a pelvic exam, the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, and rectum are felt to find any abnormality in their shape or size. During a pelvic exam, an instrument called a speculum is used to widen the vagina so that the upper portion of the vagina and the cervix can be seen. 3. Why are a Pap test and pelvic exam important? A Pap test and pelvic exam are important parts of a woman’s routine health care because they can detect abnormalities that may lead to invasive cancer of the cervix. These abnormalities can be treated before cancer develops.

The Pap Test – Frequently Asked Questions
Cervical Cancer Screening The Pap Test – Frequently Asked Questions What is a Pap Test? A Pap Test is an important screening test for cervical cancer. When a Pap test is done, some cells from the cervix (the opening to the uterus) are taken for examination. The cells are looked at for any changes that could lead to cancer. Who should have Pap tests? If you are 21 years or older, have been sexually active and have a cervix, you need to have regular pap tests. Pregnant women and women who have sex with women also need regular Pap tests. You may not need to have regular Pap tests if : • you have had a total hysterectomy and have never been treated for cervical dysplasia or diagnosed with cervical cancer • you are at least 70 years of age and have a history of normal Pap test results. Your doctor or health care provider can tell you more. What do you mean by sexually active? Sexual activity means vaginal intercourse, vaginal‐oral sex, vaginal‐digital sex (digital = fingers) or sharing of sex toys or devices. When should I have my first Pap test? • You should have your first Pap test within 3 years of becoming sexually active or at the age of 21 – whichever happens later. If you have never been sexually active you do not need to have Pap tests. Why is it safe to wait for three years after becoming sexually active before having my first Pap test? A Pap test is done to see if there are abnormal or, more rarely, cancerous cells on a person’s cervix.
