A member asked:
I got routine sti swab screening today similar to a pap smear. is it normal to feel burning sensation down there after? felt fine before the exam.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it is abnormal: If the vagina was a little dry, it may cause this sensation.If you don't have a new discharge and the sedation is subsiding,wait for test results.
