Pap smear: You are very unlikely to have cervical cancer at your age. If you have not had unprotected sex with uncircumcised men, your risk is truly negligible. However, if you have any of those risk factors, and if your doctor is concerned, the test he needs to do is simple, and is called a pap smear. If you have not had an immunization against cervical cancer yet, this might be a good time to get one.

GYN exam: You would need to see a gyn for an exam. They would do colposcopy and an a biopsy procedure (leep) if there actually was a lesion. But more importantly, you need to speak with a gyn to discuss why you think you have cervical cancer. Doing an exam can give you reassurance.
