First Pap Posted: 10-05-06 12:54pm


Okay, so I will be getting my first pap done soon, & I am scared as all heck! My doctor that I have is very nice & I trust her. But im afraid if it will hurt? Also I am deathly afraid of needles, please tell me they dont usually draw blood for paps...If they do does it hurt bad, or take long?? Sorry guys, I just need some reasurance! Thanks! :d

Pap smears are shakey, I know how your feeling right now, lol .. But all you have to do it relax and take your mind off it, it doesn't take that long at all actually, and no it doesn't hurt.. But the clamp they use to gently open your vagina will feel uncomfortable but does not hurt, and then they go in with a cotten swab and collect cells from inside and check for growths and exc.. The swab may feel very wierd inside, but this doesn't take long and it doesn't hurt.. So you have nothing to worry about.. Only thing really is it may feel very uncomfortable but it's a snap! And once you walk out you will feel relieved

To some people it does hurt.The first time I got it done it didn't but the second time it did hurt because I was just coming off of my period and I was more sensetive.They don't use any needles on you.Tghe pap only takes a monute or so to do and they take a looooong cotton swab and swab your insides.You'll be finr once its over!
