Dr. Mangala Patil provides Pap Smear Testing as part of her preventive care services to promote women’s health and detect early signs of cervical cancer. A Pap smear is a simple, quick, and essential screening test that examines cervical cells for abnormalities. Dr. Patil emphasizes the importance of regular Pap smears for early detection and effective management, empowering women with proactive steps in their health journey.
A Pap smear, or Pap test, is a procedure that involves collecting cells from the cervix (the lower, narrow end of the uterus) to detect any changes or abnormalities. This screening test can identify early signs of cervical cancer, as well as other infections or cell changes that may require further evaluation.
The Pap smear is especially effective at detecting abnormal cell changes before they become cancerous, allowing for early treatment and reducing the risk of cervical cancer. This test is recommended for most women starting at age 21 and is repeated at intervals determined by age and risk factors.
