A member asked:
Hi,i would like to find out if the pap smear screening will assist in knowing whether tubal ligation was successful or not.

No, sorry it won't.: A Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. Since the cells that are examined are taken by lightly scraping the cervix, we do find some vaginal infections if they are present (like a yeast infection). But that is all it can tell us.
