Pap smear is a also called as Pap Test. It is a noninvasive procedure done by doctors to detect cervical cancer or cervical abnormalities. Cervix is the lower part of the uterus, or the connection between the uterus(womb) and vagina.
The procedure involves:
1. Collecting cells from the cervix and vagina
2. Preparing the cell sample for evaluation under a microscope
3. Examining the cell sample for infections, abnormal cells that may grow into cancerous tumor, and cancer.
Every woman should done this test once a year in order to detect any abnormalities that might arise in the cervix. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer and the second most common caused of death in women. We should not deprive ourselves for this routine test because it will save our lives. We should love and take care of ourselves in order for us to effectively attend to the needs of our love ones. All women out there, single or married, with kids or without kids, sexually-active or not should have to consider this great medical routine.

I am one of those who are afraid of this procedure because I think its very invasive. I wrote an article about cervical cancer yesterday I attended a press launch about cervical cancer awareness and now I am ready to do this and also get a vaccine.
