Pelvic exam vs Pap smear, not the same thing! A pelvic exam is when your provider checks your reproductive organs, externally and internally. A Pap smear on the other hand is a screening test for cervical cancer, using a sample of cervical cells. Both are important. They’re often done together, but they are NOT the same and serve different purposes. Know what your body needs, and ask questions at your next visit!
