A Pap smear checks for cervical cancer by collecting cells from your cervix. Early detection means better treatment outcomes.
Can NeuEve Affect My Pap Test Results?
No. NeuEve doesn’t alter cervical cells. Long-term use (1+ years) may support vaginal health, possibly improving abnormal results over time.
However, you should avoid using a NeuEve suppository for at least a week before your Pap smear. This waiting period ensures that no residue from the suppository affects the results of the test. If you are using Salve (balm cream) on the external vulva, you may continue using it because the Salve is applied on the outside, which does not have any potential interference with the Pap test that examines the exfoliated cells inside.
If your Pap test is currently abnormal, it is important to retest regularly to monitor your progress. However, long-term use of NeuEve (over one year) may support vaginal health, and an abnormal Pap test may show improvement as your body maintains a healthier environment.
