A Pap smear is a critical screening tool designed to detect cervical cancer. Dr. Robert Costa, OB/GYN at Piedmont Medical Center, explains that while Pap smears were traditionally done annually, current guidelines suggest that women with normal results and HPV cotesting can extend the interval to every 2 to 3 years. Staying informed about your screening schedule is key to maintaining cervical health.
