A member asked:
Can a pap smear to check for vaginal infection at 32 weeks pregnant irritate the cervix, to the point of dilating or effacing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PAP during pregnancy: In the hands of a trained competent medical provider, pelvic exams and PAP smears are safe to have performed during pregnancy. The risk of having an untreated infection is far more dangerous to your pregnancy than the risk of complication from the procedure.
