A member asked:

Does using premarin vaginal cream for 3 weeks schlufff off cervical parabasal cells so i can get an accurate pap smear result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Premarin cream: Premarin cream will create a blood level of estrogen depending on amount of use, but will not contribute to sloughing of cervical external cells. A pap smear will be "accurate" regardless of the use of Premarin cream.
