What Is the difference between an annual exam and a Pap Smear:
- An Annual Exam is done to check your overall physical health.
- The Pap smear screens for cervical cancer. A Pap smear may be offered as part of an annual exam. If you have a cervix and have ever been sexually active in any way, you need regular pap smears.
