What can pap smear help you?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: A pap smear is used to look for precancerous cells of the cervix before they become a problem. Your first pregnancy visit may be a good time to get one if you need it.

Several things: Although the pap smear is most frequently used to look for precancerous cells, it can also be very helpful to assess for general cervical health, certain infections and hormonal status.
