Preparation for screening tests can vary. Here are some general guidelines:
Pap Smear/HPV Test: Avoid intercourse, douching, or using vaginal medicines 48 hours before the test. Mammogram: Do not use deodorants or lotions on your underarms or breasts on the day of the test. STI Screening: Specific instructions may be provided based on the type of test, such as not urinating for an hour before a urine test.
