Pap smear is a screening procedure for cervical cancer. It tests for the presence of precancerous or cancerous cells on your cervix. The cervix is the opening of the uterus.
During the routine procedure, cells from your cervix are gently scraped away and examined for abnormal growth. The procedure is done at your doctor’s office. It may be mildly uncomfortable, but doesn’t usually cause any long-term pain.
宫颈抹片检查是宫颈癌的筛查程序。它测试子宫颈上是否存在癌前或癌细胞。子宫颈是子宫的开口。在常规程序中，轻轻刮掉子宫颈细胞并检查其异常生长。该过程在您的医生办公室完成。可能会稍有不适，但通常不会引起任何长期的疼痛。
