A member asked:

Had a pap smear and it didn't hurt. would the report say if the sample was adequate? can they see if there are cervical cells on the sample?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PAP report: PAP smears should never really hurt, so I am happy to hear you have a great healthcare provider. Yes, the PAP smear report would indicate whether or not the specimen was adequate for them to analyze.
