Gyn Cytology

Gynaecological cytology, commonly known as Pap smear or Pap test, is a procedure where cells are gently collected from a woman's cervix—the lower part of the uterus accessible through the vagina. These cells are examined under a microscope to detect abnormal changes or early signs of cervical cancer, as well as infections or other issues. The test helps identify issues before symptoms appear, enabling early treatment and better health outcomes. It is a widely used, simple screening tool that plays a key role in maintaining women's reproductive health.
