Question:

What's a pap smear for..?

What does a pap smear reveal when you get one? Like what's the purpose of it? The way my question is worded, I'm bound to get some smart alec answers.. lol


Answers:

it is done to check for abnormal or malignant cells in your cervix to detect early signs of cervical cancer because cervical cancer, once spotted early, can be easily treated. So this implies that doing annual pap smear is a preventive method.
