Possible: An experienced clinician, should be able to clean cervix and obtain sufficient cells for adequate pap. Given your age (>30yrs), if you have had normal paps in past and are in amonogomous relationship or not sexually active, you should only need pap every 3 yrs or every 5yrs (if HPV negative). Take Care!
