About this test
PAP Smear
- Women should have a Cervical Cancer screen every three years
- A PAP Smear looks for early changes in the cells of the cervix
- Fast and accurate results
Why should I get a PAP Smear?
PAP smears detect abnormal cells in the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) which may indicate precancerous changes. Detecting these changes can allow for early intervention and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
How does a PAP Smear work?
The Better2Know PAP Smear uses a small brush to collect cells from your cervix and test them for any abnormalities. If any abnormalities are detected, you can then access further medical help.
What if I do not get a PAP Smear?
Remaining untested could increase the risk of developing the advanced stages of cervical cancer. Early intervention is important for treating any abnormalities in your cervical cells that could lead to long-term negative health outcomes.
