How do they do a pap smear with a rectovaginal fistula? the test comes back contaminated because of the feces flowing out. so how will they do it then

Cervix: The cervix can be cleaned and a pap smear done. Those done in liquids make it more possible to get a good pap. If nothing else the testing for high risk HPV which is extremely important will be reliable even with the fistula. Hope u have a very successful fistula repair.
