What Does My Pap Smear Test Report Indicate?
If given ass pap smear by a regular doctor during a physical, would he be able to tell if i was 4 to 5 weeks pregnant at the time of the pap smear? If yes, is it mandatory or procedure for a doctor to give a pregnancy test during that visit since a pap smear was done, blood was drawn, as well as urine taken as per the physical? Akso, is it mandatorfor a doctor to order a pregnancy test before prescribing a Mmmmedication such as Zoloft? Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to the HealthcareMagic
Pap smear test is for diagnosis of cervical pathology.
It is not for diagnosis of pregnancy.
For rule out pregnancy urine HCG card test can be done.
Trans vaginal USG pelvis can be done for further confirmation of pregnancy
Take care
Hope this will help you
Consult gynecologist for examination and discuss your case
