Any woman who’s sexually active has the risk of cervical cancer. So whether you do your pap smear during your postnatal visit, or later on (arranging your own appointment), it’s advisable to get it done, and do it regularly as advised by the doctor.

I actually did the cervical cancer prevention jabs before, do I still need to visit regularly?

Super Mum

Yes. The jab covers some strains of HPV, the main types that cause cervical cancer, but there are many many more strains of HPV, and quite a number of them also cause cancer

Yes pls do. It's recommended. My gynae did pap smear and HPV screening test. It's expensive but you can always opt to do at polyclinic which costs much less.

Dont need to do 1 month after. Anytime after Birth but recommend to do yearly or every 2 to 3 years depending on your age
