It is a test where the doc takes a scraping from a woman’s cervix & smears it onto a slide to view under a microscope, probably with a dye or something, but who knows. It is used to determine whether she has cervical cancer & HPV(some kinds of HPV can lead to cancer if untreated), based on the appearance of the cells. It is more commonly called a “pap smear”.
