Will a pap smear show if I have a bacterial/yeast infection and trichomoniasis?

I'm a cytoscreener (dayjob) and I can say that I do detect yeast, bacteria and trich in pap smears...I do NOT have to report when I see them because they have nothing to do with cancer. HOWEVER, a pap smear is NOT intended to identify any of these. Purpose of a Pap smear is to detect any early changes in the cervix that MAY indicate pre-cancerous lesions. Consider the extra info as a bonus. If you're concerned about trich and yeast then you should do an HVS (high vaginal swab) for culturing and maybe a urine culture as well.

No, you have to have a different test for that. Ask your gyno.
no it shouldn,t
A pap smear only checks for changes in the cervical cells that could be early signs of cancer. Sometimes a doctor will also order an HPV test to be done off of the collected cervical cells also.
In order to test for the infections you mentioned, your doctor will have to collect samples from your vagina with culture swabs. A urine sample may also be used to test for trichinosis.
yes I would think so.
A pap smear will only show changes in your cervical cells. However, your doctor may collect swabs during the examination to determine if there is some sort of infection. If you're concerned about having these infections, mention your concerns to your doctor and he/she will test you for this.
