امرأة ٣٥ سنة بدون أعراض تسأل ليش تسوي مسحة عنق الرحم. ما أفضل رد؟

A symptom-free 35-year-old asks why she needs a cervical smear. What is the best reply?

1. The smear treats any infection in the cervix
2. You only need it if you have abnormal bleeding
3. The smear prevents pregnancy for a while after
4. Early cervical cancer is silent; screening finds changes first

Answer: D) Early cervical cancer is silent; screening finds changes first. Early cervical cancer is often asymptomatic; Pap/HPV screening detects precancerous changes.
