Its a gynecological examination that carries on women to detect precancerous lesions or cervical cancer. It is a microscopic examination of Pap smear (sample of cells from the cervix and vagina taken by slight friction) and displays the abnormal cell changes for a shift to the precancerous stage or cancer. In the interest of preventing cervical cancer, this test should have been made on regular periods.
