Do pap smears have any effect on your period coming sooner or later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They should not.: A pap smear should not have any effect on your period, or it would not be used as a regular screening test. However, it is probably not done too close to the time of a period since this culd interfere with the pap result.
