Shouldn't be. : Having your first pelvic exam is typically an anxiety provoking experience. An exam and Pap smear should not be painful. You do not need a Pap smear before the age of 21. Your doctor should take steps to make you as comfortable as possible and explain the process to you. Hope this helps.
