A member asked:

My annual pap test pelvic exam is tomorrow i just started my period. do i need to reschedule? i have been told you can still have the exam idk though?

Annual pap test: The exact date of the annual exam is not critical. Recommend you reschedule, so that you will be more comfortable having the exam.
