can a pap smear indicate if a person has infertility problems?

i don't think it can indicate infertility problems because a pap test will only check if there is a possibility of a cervical cancer.

Yes it can indicate if you have a cervical factor causing infertility, such as the glands destroyed by cryotheraphy.

Yes, pap smear is very helpful in diagnosing lots of women diseases including problems of infertility. That's why it's really important for the girls and every women to undergo regular pap smear.

pap smear is an examination of the cervix which is the entrance to the uterus. not only this but an internal exam is also usually conducted during a pap smear so your gynecologist can have a fairly good idea if you are at risk for fertility problems.

thanks for helping. is it safe to just undergo such test only or do i have to undergo other tests?

It is best to not only rely on pap test if your main concern is infertility problem. Have the fertility test to be really accurate.

yeah, you should now what is your focus so as not to waste your time and money.

It depends with your doctor. My wife usually does other tests like a Wet mount and gram staining along with her regular pap smears. I dunno why, her gynecologists usually order those three everytime.
