PAP SMEAR TESTING

A Pap smear test is a vital preventive screening procedure that checks for cervical cancer in women. At Somos Vida Health Center, our skilled healthcare professionals perform this quick, gentle examination to detect early cellular changes in the cervix, significantly reducing the risk of cervical cancer through timely diagnosis and intervention.

WHO SHOULD HAVE A PAP SMEAR?

Pap smear tests are recommended for women starting at age 21, with routine screenings advised every three years or according to your doctor’s recommendations. Women aged 30-65 may combine Pap smears with HPV testing for enhanced screening effectiveness.

EKG testing is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or irregular heartbeat. It’s also beneficial for those with a family history of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, or individuals undergoing routine health screenings.

WHY PAP SMEARS ARE IMPORTANT

Regular Pap smear screenings enable early detection of abnormal cervical cells, allowing prompt and effective treatment before potential progression into cervical cancer. This simple test can significantly lower the risk of developing advanced cervical conditions, ensuring better health outcomes.
