A Pap smear (or Pap test), is a routine exam that checks for changes in the cells of the cervix. Pap smears are the best tool to identify abnormal, pre-cancerous or cancerous cells and provide immediate and effective treatment. Current guidelines state that women should have their first pap test at age 21 and have one every two years. However, Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD, a pap smear screening doctor in New York strongly recommends women have a Pap Smear exam done annually to help detect the presence of any cervical cancer cells early and prevent the need for aggressive treatment. This routine, painless examination performed by Dr Goldstein checks the changes in the cells of the cervix and is the best test for identifying abnormal, cancerous and pre-cancerous cells.

An abnormal pap smear doesn’t mean it will necessarily lead to cancer. It simply means there has been a change in the cervical cells. The reason for the change in cervical cells can be infection, inflammation, changes in the menstrual cycle, or in some cases pre-cancerous or cancerous cells. HTTP://WWW.GOLDSTEINMD.COM/
