Hi ladies...what happens during a pap?

Question

What happened when you do a pap smear.. What do they do it for?  Does it hurt?  How long does it take to see results?

Answer

You lay back on the exam table and put your feet in the stirrups the dr inserts a device called specula it just opens up the vagina so the dr can look inside and get a better view of everything and then they take a q tip like thing and swab the vagina and around the cervix the samples check for anything out of the ordinary like yeast infection bacterial infections stds/stis also the swab can be tested for any cancerous or precancerous cells it doesnt hurt its just uncomfortable and only takes a few seconds

Answer

Best thing to do: relax your body. The more relaxed you are, the less uncomfortable it will be! A great OB/GYN or PA will warm up the speculum under hot water- so much better! It'll be over before you know it.
