Pap smear is a screening procedure for early detection of cervical precancerous conditions and cancer. However these days it is done in all reproductive age women as a screening. Scanty periods could be due to a hormonal imbalance or simple low hemoglobin or weakness.... Need to get few tests like hemoglobin thyroid function tests and female hormones like lh fsh prolactin.
