What is it used for? It helps detect changes in cervical cells that might require monitoring or additional testing.

What to expect? It's a quick procedure done in the office; the sample is taken during a gynecological exam and usually causes minimal discomfort.

Who performs it? It's usually taken by a gynecologist or a general practitioner. It's a good idea to discuss with the professional how often to repeat it based on your age and history.

Before you book

Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.

El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
