Cervical Cancer Screening / PAP Smear

Routine cervical cancer screening is a cornerstone of preventive women’s healthcare, playing a crucial role in the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. Identifying abnormal cellular changes early, often before any symptoms arise, dramatically improves treatment outcomes and can prevent cancer from developing altogether. We strongly advocate for regular screening as an essential part of maintaining long-term health.

Our practice provides Papanicolaou (PAP) smear services, a straightforward procedure typically performed during a pelvic exam where a small sample of cells is collected from the cervix. This sample is carefully analyzed in a laboratory to detect any precancerous or cancerous cells. Finding abnormal changes promptly allows for timely follow-up evaluations and interventions, significantly reducing the risk associated with cervical cancer.

We adhere to the latest evidence-based screening guidelines recommended by leading health organizations, which consider factors like age and health history to determine appropriate testing frequency (often involving PAP tests and/or HPV testing). Our team is committed to ensuring patients in the Greater Orlando area have access to these vital screenings and receive clear communication about their results and any necessary next steps within a supportive healthcare environment.
