Abstract
Data reported that doctors were able to obtain a pap smear with no difficulty and doctors are no longer reluctant to a pelvic exam on obese patients. The study demonstrated improved healthcare provider's self-reported easy access to the cervical canal; and self-reported comfort of the obese women during the examination.
