Pap smears : There is not a true alternative to pap smears. There are many different sizes and shapes of the speculum which is the device placed into the vagina to allow visualization of the cervix. Discuss your pain with your doctor. An experienced Obgyn should be able to make a simple pap smear as painless as possible. There are many ways we can do this to help you.
