What is PAP SMEAR, LIQUID BASED CYTOLOGY (LBC)?

A Pap Smear (LBC) is a crucial screening test for cervical cancer. It involves collecting cells from your cervix to check for abnormal changes that could indicate precancerous conditions or cancer.

Why is this test important?

Regular Pap Smears are essential for early detection of cervical abnormalities, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. This significantly reduces the risk of developing invasive cervical cancer and improves treatment outcomes.

How to Prepare

Avoid douching, using vaginal medicines, or having sexual intercourse for at least 24-48 hours before the test.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
