what happens when you get a pap smear?

Question

i have never gotten one, or even been to an OBGYN before? so what happens at the first appointmean and what happens during a pap smear? im kinda nervous lol

Answer 1

The pap smear is yucky. The doctor cranks you open with a piece of metal and swabs your cervix. I hate it, makes me feel like I'm being sodomized. It can make you bleed a little depending on when you had your period last, so wear or take a pad or liner with you for afterwards just in case.

Answer 2

Don't be nervous. The pap smear feels a little awkward. Basically the doctor uses a swab-like thing to gather some cells from your cervix. It only lasts a few seconds. The doctor will also examine your breasts to check for lumps or abnormalities. She/he will also check your ovaries (which is the weird part) by using her/his hand. The first time is awkward, but going to the doctor and spotting a possible problem early on is better than letting the nerves get to you. Good luck!

Answer 3

It will be fine. They swab you with a large Q-Tip. It will be a little uncomfortable but it wont hurt. It is similar to getting a throat culture, just not the throat. Let me know if you have any other questions.

you get undressed, wait, wait and look forward to the document to return in, then she does, you place your ft within the stir ups, she insterts the speculum that is bloodless, she swabs your cervix to get cells off...then she mixes it in slightly box after which on a slide, then she does a breast examination, then that is it, you dress. it is style f uncomfortable in case your relatively irritating. you're going to cramp slightly bit. Not unhealthy. Really it is not. The entire examination takes like 10 mins max.
