Pap Tests Are For Men Too
Friday March 21, 2008
A viewer asks:
"I am a 26 year old straight male doing research for a college paper. I learned about a simple screeing test that men are getting that some say helps identify cellular changes in rectal tissue. These changes could be anal cancer. Now I'm wondering should I get an anal pap? I'm straight and "nothing" goes in that area. I'm not in pain or bleeding but I'm worried because I felt around that area and found a little bump just inside my rectum. It felt like a vein but it was raised. So, should I get an anal pap?"

You see men can benefit from a pap test too...an anal pap test.
