A member asked:

I had a pap smear done today cause i thought i had a tampon stuck inside i have a foul smelling odor and stomach ache my husband came inside me too ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: Was there a tampon inside? If should have been detected during specimen collection for PAP smear. Did you not address these issues with the doctor who took PAP smear? If the foul smelling odor is still present, you should consult your doctor for an in-person evaluation.
