A member asked:
I had a pap smear 2 days ago, and i have cramps that keep me up at night, and i need a heating pad to dull it down so i don't cry. is this okay?

Not normal: It's not normal to have significant cramps after a pelvic exam/Pap smear unless the exam was rather difficult and required a lot of manipulation. You should review this with the healthcare provider who completed the exam to make sure no complications like an infection has developed. Best of luck.
