A member asked:
If i ended up having a painful pap smear is that something to be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: A Gyn exam, vaginal speculum examination or Pap test should not cause pain if performed gently, with expertise, with adequate lubrication and with a speculum of appropriate size. Consider seeking a more experienced, more skilled or more caring clinician for your next Gyn exam.
