I feel you on this! I got my first one done like 3 years ago but I was really scared about it. First thing I did was find a top rated doctor, it's very reassuring on my nerves to know I was in good hands and others trusted them too. It does hurt at all either, more of a minor discomfort if anything. One of the most important things to remember, they are there to help you! Don't be afraid to ask questions and tell them about anything out of the ordinary. Hope your exam goes well! Here to talk if you need it
Hey lovely! What is making you anxious about the Pap Smear?
I have had many and never found it painful. From when I enter the nurses room to when I’m out the door takes less than 3 minutes. So quick and then you can get on with the rest of the day.
Hey anxiousgirl! I often get myself all worked up before I go in, but that is how I always am prior to a doctor appointment lol. Like others have said, it is quick and relatively painless. The peace of mind you’ll get afterwards makes it all worth it.
