Abstract:Introdução: Vulvovaginitis presents a significant prevalence both in women in general and in those pregnant women. The most commonly performed method for the early prevention is the cytopathological test or Papanicolaou test. It has a key role in the diagnosis of the condition. Objectives: Identify the knowledge of pregnant women about the importance of the cytological examination; verify the information from the examination passed on during the prenatal care, and investigate the doubts and insecurities regarding the performance in the examination during the gestational period. Patients and Methods: This is a descriptive and transversal study, with a quantitative approach, carried out with 25 pregnant women from August to September 2015. To collect data, we used a script developed in conjunction with the research objectives. Results: The study reveals that 52% of pregnant women had stable partners, 76% were aged between 18 and 29 years, and 44% completed high school. Regarding the exam, 40% underwent the procedure; however, 60% received information about the exam. Conclusion: The conversation and the attitude adopted by the health professional with the patient interfered positively in the perception and adherence to the examination. This examination is free and it is of great relevance for the pregnant women's health.
