Question:
Pap Smear.

How should I prepare? WHat should i be ready for?

Answers:
Pap Smear are fine. Get ready for a cold thing that looks like a duck bill. It is very easy, and takes your doctor maybe 30 seconds to complete from beginning to end. It is not bad at all. A little uncomfortable having a strange person stare at you down there, however, you have to think like they see twenty of these a day. Usually the doctor will tell you everything that they are doing. But,, they will put a little lubricant on the duck bill thing that holds you open, and they take a q-tip...and stick it up there and rub it against the wall of your uterus very lightly, just like a pea tree dish test, and then they put it in a little tube, and take the duck bill thing out, and you are done. Very easy. I think the worst part is when she pushes on your uterus to feel it. That has nothing to do with the pap smear though. There is no pinch, the person above me is thinking if the pap smear comes back positive, then they have to take a biopsy. That is different, there is no pinch.
Take a shower, but don't douche. If you've ever had an internal, you know what that proceedure is. its pretty well the same.
