A member asked:
Had pap smear one week ago. since then i have had pain in the perineum area/outer vaginal area. it hurts to wipe. could it be injury from speculum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to examine: Neither the smear process nor the speculum should resulting in pain lasting a week. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
