Concerned About an Abnormal Pap Smear?
October 24th, 2009An pap smear is something that is done once a year, mostly to screen women for cervical cancer. This is done in a doctors office. The doctor will check for different physical signs of problems, and then take a cell sample from the cervix. At times, you may get abnormal pap smears and your doctor will call and ask that you come back in. In most cases, you are asked to fill a prescription and come back in for a recheck within a certain amount of weeks. Most of the time, this takes care of whatever was wrong. However, it some cases it could be that your abnormal pap smears indicate that you have irregular cells that could indicate cervical cancer.
