About 274,000 women die from cervical cancer each year, making it the second most common cause of cancer death in women (the first being breast cancer). 80% of these deaths occur in the developing world, where the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is not available. With the Pap smear, cervical cancer is one of the easiest cancers to detect and prevent. It is performed during a pelvic exam and can detect precancerous changes in the cervix. If detected early, these precancerous changes can be removed before becoming cancerous.

Urgentology Care offers Pap Smears in Arlington. Contact us today to learn more.

When Should I Get a Pap Smear?

Recommendations vary, but in general:

Cervical cancer screenings should begin at 21, regardless of the patient’s sexual history
Women between the ages of 21 and 29 years old should get a Pap smear every three years
Women over the age of 30 who have had three consecutive normal Pap tests can continue to be screened at an interval of every three years
If an HPV test is performed at the same time as a Pap smear, your recommended interval is every five years for women over 30
Women who have HIV or other immunocompromised conditions should get a Pap smear every year
Cervical cancer screenings can be discontinued at age 65 if the patient has had no abnormal test results in the last 10 years

How Are Pap Smears Done?

Pap smears are performed during a pelvic exam where the patient is lying on her back on the examination table, with her knees bent and the heels of the feet in the stirrups. A speculum is used to keep the vaginal walls open and a small soft brush takes a few cells from the cervix. The cells are sent to a laboratory for screening
