My doctor has recommended that I get a pap smear. What is it and what should I expect?

A Pap Smear is a test that involves collecting cells from the cervix of your uterus. It’s used to detect cervical cancer, which is caused by certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The test is painless and usually takes about 10 minutes. You may experience some cramping or bleeding afterward, but this is normal.
