The Pap test, also called a Pap smear, checks for changes in the cells of your cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens into the vagina (birth canal). The Pap test can tell if you have an infection, abnormal (unhealthy) cervical cells, or cervical cancer.

The doctor does a vaginal examination where he/she views your cervix. He/she then gathers cells from the cervix and has them tested at a lab.
