No, a Pap smear cannot detect or confirm pregnancy. A Pap smear collects cells from the cervix to check for abnormal changes that could indicate cervical precancer or cancer. A pregnancy test works differently. It looks for human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, in urine or blood. A healthcare professional may notice physical changes that sometimes [...]
A typical urinary tract infection does not usually cause a false-positive pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG.
