Pap test (also known as Pap smear) is a screening test recommended for all girls and women to detect any abnormal cells in the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer. It is recommended to have this test done every three years after they begin having intercourse or by age 21, regardless of sexual activity. Mammogram is not a test for cervical cancer but for breast cancer screening. Episiotomies are a surgical procedure done during childbirth to widen the vaginal opening. Hysterectomy is a surgical removal of uterus and is not a screening test for cervical cancer.
