Importance of the Pap Smear Test
Cervical cancer is a disease that can affect women of all ages, but it has been shown to be more common in women between 30 and 50 years old. The Pap smear test is a fundamental tool for early detection of this type of cancer, as it can identify abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix before they become cancer.
By regularly taking the Pap smear test, you can detect and timely treat any abnormalities or precancerous lesions, thus preventing cancer progression and increasing your chances of full recovery. This simple exam can save lives and is an essential part of preventive care in gynecology.
In addition to detecting cervical cancer, the Pap smear test can also detect other gynecological conditions, such as infections, inflammation, or hormonal changes. This allows MD María Susana Aguero to evaluate your overall gynecological health and provide you with the appropriate treatment if necessary.
