How do you prepare for pap smear test?

Answer 1

You should wear clothes that are easy to take off. Like a skirt with sandals or jeans and flip flops. The nurse will give you a hospital-like gown to put on. You will be asked to remove your underwear and pants/skirt and lie on a table. She will look and feel of your external vaginal area (such as the labia) and feel of your uterus on the outside. She will then insert a speculum (metal object that will open your vaginal canal)into your vagina (usually after a lubrication is applied and look at your cervix and take a swab of your cervix. It is usually not painful, just uncomfortable.

Answer 2

A pap smear is taking a sample of cells from your cervix to make sure you are healthy.

You will need to lay down on the exam table with your feet up, the doctor will use a speculum to open your vagina and then use a little tool that looks like a pipe cleaner to scrape a few cells from your cervix.

It's a little like getting your throat swabbed. It's usually uncomfortable but not painful and it's over pretty quickly.

Answer 3

Just be clean and go to a gyno.

Answer 4

You don't do a pap smear at home.
