answer:You mean a pap? If so, it’s generally relatively painless. The doctor puts a thing- speculum, I think, up in your bits and expand it so he or she can see. There’s some swabbing, which isn’t comfortable but it shouldn’t hurt. There’s some more feeling around on the inside and out, which again, isn’t the most pleasant thing but shouldn’t hurt. The doc might give you a breast exam too, but it’s totally clinical and painless. Your swabs will be sent away for testing, and likely you won’t hear anything. That’s what my doctor does at least- if there’s no problem, I don’t hear from her. If abnormal cells are found, you’ll be called back in for more testing. That’s happened to me once, and the next round of tests was fairly painful, but nothing overly traumatic or anything. Ask your doc to warm up the speculum first. It helps make it more comfortable. The best advice I can give you is to relax as much during it, and be happy you’re making the very healthy choice to spend a few minutes being poked and prodded. It’s really not so bad!
