Answers:
The answers above tell you all of the reasons for getting a pap smear so I wont go into that again. I will tell you about the procedure so you know what to expect.

In order to get the sample from the neck of the womb you have to allow a nurse/doctor to put something like a giant Q tip into your vagina up to the neck of the womb.

Most medical professionals will tell you to put your knees together then let your legs fall open to the sides. They then put something called a speculum into your vagina to open it up and put the swab/Q-tip in to take a gentle scraping from the neck of the womb.

It is all done very quickly and with the least amount of discomfort possible, It really isn't a painful procedure but it can be a little uncomfortable and embarrassing.

It is one of the most important preventative procedures we as woman can do to take care of our own health though and once it's done that should be it over for another three to five years so its best to just go ahead and get it over with.

Hope this is helpful to you.

GxHealth Question & Answer

"A Pap smear (also known as the Pap test) is a medical procedure in which a sample of cells from a woman's cervix (the end of the uterus that extends into the vagina) is collected and spread (smeared) on a microscope slide. The cells are examined under a microscope in order to look for pre-malignant (before-cancer) or malignant (cancer) changes."

No, they shouldn't hurt.Health Question & Answer

Cancer of the cervix (cervical cancer) is the second most common cause of cancer-related disease and death among women worldwide. The best way to detect cervical cancer is by having regular Papanicolaou tests, or Pap smears. (Pap is a shortened version of the name of the doctor who developed the screening test.) A Pap smear is a microscopic examination of cells taken from the cervix.

A Pap smear can detect certain viral infections (such as human papillomavirus [HPV]) and other cancer-causing conditions. Early treatment of these conditions can stop cervical cancer before it fully develops. A woman may have cervical cancer and not know it because she may not have any symptoms.
