Colposcopy fears

Unavailable

Ladies, can anyone tell me about a colposcopy they have had before?? I am scared and never have had one. Should I take a pain killer before I go, should someone drive me to it, any suggestions or recommendations for pre and post procedure? I'm just so nervous and upset that my stomach is in knots. Please tell me your experiences and anything that would help because I am scared based on what others have told me.
