Pap smear

Cervical cancer screening test

Routine exams such as pap tests and STI screenings are critical for maintaining optimal health. Guidelines around these examinations often change, which can be confusing.

We can help eliminate the confusion and set you up with an appropriate examination schedule.

Pap tests

Pap tests (sometimes called pap smears) screen for cervical cancer or precancerous cells by collecting cells from the surface of your cervix. While some women may find the process uncomfortable, pap tests should not be painful.

Women should start having pap tests at age 25 followed by a new test every three years. If you experience changes in your period, you may need an updated pap test

Protect yourself from cervical cancer

The Gardasil vaccine can help protect you from some types of HPV-related cervical cancer and genital warts. Visit us to learn more and get your Gardasil vaccine.

Cervical swabs

Cervical swabs screen for the most common STIs: chlamydia and gonorrhea. Often, people with chlamydia or gonorrhea will not show symptoms, so it’s important to have a cervical swab with every new sexual partner.
