First day on this site..... I had a total hysterectomy in '99 because of a 15yr endometriosis battle. For the last 8 months pain during and after intercourse has increased considerably. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I get a sharp pain that feels like it starts right at the vagina and shoots down my right leg. I can't even breathe until it goes away - which is usually as quick as it came. I also have lower back pain which feels like it did when I would get my period - this started 2 mths ago. I am soooo tired all the time. I have made an appt for a complete physical for this week and inquired if I would need a pap smear. The nurse said no as i've had everything removed and there would be no need. So i'm putting the question out there - please....Is there a need for a papsmear after a total hysterectomy?
