You lie on your back, knees up, legs flopped to the sides, the nurse inserts a kind of salad tongs thing to open the vagina a little then takes a sample of the cervical tissue on a large sort of cotton bud (but not as big as the ones they use on Gladiators). It is a bit uncomfortable and inelegant, but it doesnt hurt much. Just breathe deeply and talk about the weather. No problemo.Health Question & Answer
You will lie down on a couch or a kind of armchair. Your legs will be placed on a kind of leg rest which will leave the area between your legs wide open. The doctor will insert an instrument which will open your vagina and a swab will be taken. This swab will go to the laboratory and will indicate if you have cancer/VD....it is a little bit uncomfortable, but is over quite quicklyHealth Question & Answer
