Is it bad that I never had a papsmeer?

Question

Answer

Yes if you're sexually active

Answer

From the first time you start your period you should have one at least every year.

Answer

Just have any one, harden up. Its 5 minutes of your time. I've watched my mum die of cervical cancer (miss read pap smear, she religiously had them) PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. Leave your pride at the door & pick it up on your way out.

Answer

A Pap smear looks for abnormal cells. It is good to screen for cervical cancer and other things. It doesn't matter how many sexual partners you have or haven't had. It's about women's health.

The general rule of thumb here in the US is to have them yearly once you start your period, then after 30 if they're all normal, you have them every 2-3 years. You still go in for a wellness check and a pelvic exam every year.

Paps aren't fun, but they're not a big deal. Mostly just annoying putting your feet up in the stirrups and having someone swab your parts. The metal thing they use to hold you open is the worst part. It's quick and it could save your life. Get it done.

Answer

If you're sexually active it's really important to get a pap smear done, it doesn't hurt whatsoever and it's great peace of mind.

Answer

Your supposed to go when your 22 and after the first one it's only every 3 years now they changed it. Definetly important!!

Answer

Unless you're having complications, my doctor always told me there is no need for one until after the age of 21. And that's when you should start your yearly pap

Answer

I'm assuming it's not good but I never have and I've only been sexualy active with one partner.
