In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Once the test is done, the doctor will send the cell sample to a lab for testing. It usually takes 1-3 weeks for the test results to come back, but your doctor should be able to give you a more accurate estimate. Ask them if you can expect them to call you or if the results will be posted in an online chart for you to view.If you don't hear back within 3 weeks, call your doctor's office and ask about the results. Most of the time, pap smear test results come back normal. Sometimes, however, you might get a result of "abnormal" or "unclear." If this happens, don't worry! Even an abnormal test result doesn't necessarily mean that anything is seriously wrong. Talk to your doctor about scheduling a follow-up appointment for further tests. In rare cases, abnormal cells in a pap smear can be a sign of cancer in your cervix or uterus. If your doctor suspects that your test results might indicate a serious problem, they may have you come in for more tests, like a colonoscopy or a biopsy (tissue sample). Sometimes, your doctor will recommend that you wait 6 months to a year and then have another pap smear done. If the abnormal cells are still there or if they see major changes since your last exam, they might decide to do further testing. How often you need to get a pap smear depends on a lot of things, such as your age, your medical history, and how high your risk is for problems like cervical cancer or sexually transmitted infections. Work with your doctor to figure out the best time for you to come in for your next routine pap smear and pelvic exam. Most doctors recommend that you get your first pap smear at age 21, and then follow up every 3 years (or more often if there are abnormal results). Once you're 30, you can reduce the frequency to once every 5 years unless you have an abnormal pap smear. You can stop having pap smears by the time you're 65 to 70 as long as you've had 3 normal tests within the last 10 years.
Ask your doctor when you can expect to get your test results. Schedule a follow-up if there are any abnormal results. Talk to your doctor about when you should get your next pap smear.
