During a pap smear, the primary focus is on the cervix and the vaginal walls to collect cells for Cervical cancer screening. However, the doctor may perform a rectal examination as part of a comprehensive pelvic exam, especially if there are specific concerns or symptoms. This is not a routine part of the pap smear itself but can be included based on individual patient needs.

During a pap smear if a doctor finds a mass will a doctor do a biopsy?
Pap smear uses a small sample of cells gently collected from the cervix to look for cancer or precancerous problems on the cervix. A pap smear doesn't detect a mass. If a doctor finds a mass at the vulva or cervix at the time of your pelvic exam, a biopsy may be done. If the mass is internal, for example at the uterus or ovaries, it's not likely that you've have a biopsy that day.
