Most gynecological screening tests are quick and cause minimal discomfort. For instance, a Pap smear or HPV test may involve a brief sensation of pressure. Mammograms might cause slight compression of the breast, which can be uncomfortable but is usually brief.
After the tests, your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you. Abnormal results may require further testing or immediate treatment. Regular follow-ups are essential to ensure continued health and well-being.
