A member asked:
I had a pap smear yesterday morning and my lower abdomen has since been mildly tender, especially if i press on it. not really cramping, just tenderness. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some discomfort is common after bimanual pelvic examination and pap smear uses a speculum to visualize the cervix and also an endocervical brush to get the sample. It should get better soon. Good luck.
