Pap smears are a screening test for cervical cancer. They're important because they can detect changes in the cells of the cervix before they turn into cancer. That means that if something abnormal is found, it can be treated early, before it becomes a bigger problem.

Most doctors recommend getting a pap smear every 3 years if you're between the ages of 21 and 29, and every 5 years if you're 30 or older. But remember, these are just general guidelines - talk to your doctor to find out what's best for you.

Early detection can save lives!
