Do you nead to have a smear test after recently done MRI for slipped disc. anything abnormal shown up in that?
No, you do not need to have a smear test after an MRI for a slipped disc.
A smear test is a screening test for cervical cancer and is not related to the spine or discs. An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. In the case of a slipped disc, an MRI scan is used to assess the condition of the discs in the spine and identify any abnormalities or injuries.
The results of an MRI scan can help guide treatment decisions for a slipped disc, but they are not related to cervical cancer or the need for a smear test. If you are due for a smear test, it is recommended that you schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider separately from your MRI for the slipped disc.
