A member asked:

Hello, i used jet spray water of a handheld bidet sprayer outside vagina (btw labia minors) after peeing an hour before my pap smear cotest , my result was normal, that jet spray of water interfered my results?

No, the test gathers cells from the outer surface of the cervix. That structure is contained inside & distant from the labia. It gently removes them from a sweeping motion over the structure, & sends those cells to the lab for study. Your shower would not reach or interfere with the area involved. The re-wording of your question does not change the answer.
