Answers:
hi,
It is completely normal for you to be nervous and scared, considering you are going to have someone checking your vagina!. well i have had a few in my life time and i always get nervous, here is the thing, the vagina is a very flexible muscle, which means the more nervoous you are the more contracted it will get and it will bother more!. It doesn hurt!.!.!. it feels uncomfortable and a bit weird, but if you relax (i know its hard to do) it will be A LOT BETTER believe me!! and if you try to be calm it goes by faster because the Dr!. doesnt have a hard time trying to reach your uterus!.!.!. the dr!. will place a speculum inside your vagina and take a look and swab your uterus(which u dont even feel) and then he takes the speculum out and places his fingers inside where he/she feels for any unnormal things!.!.!. and then you're set!.!. you will be fine!.!. no worries!.!.!. remember its better if you are relaxed!.!.!. Good Luck!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't hurt!. It is a little uncomfortable, but the doctor should make you feel comfortable!. It is quick!. Don't be scared!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it does not hurt at all!.
Just be relaxed, lie back and pretend it is happening to someone else!.
You will probably find your doctor will chat to you while he is doing the pap test to keep you calm and relaxed and perhaps even crack a few jokes - they are expert at this so don't feel nervous!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it all depends on your body and how relaxed you are!. it does hurt me some and it is very uncomfortable and kinda embarressing to have some stranger looking at your "down stairs"!. but try to relax count the tiles on the ceiling or something to keep your mind distracted!. it is a quick procedure even though it may seem like its taking forever!. and thats good you are getting one!. you should at least once a year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just to add to what the other posters said!.

Make sure the doctor knows that this is your first time!. They are really good at explaining what is going to happen before you do it!.

As much as you can, try not to tense up and stay relaxed!. It can be a bit uncomfortable but it is over very quickly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it's just a feeling of discomfort more than anything!. the good news is that the doctor performs it fairly quickly, so it's not much to worry about!.

Sort of like taking a swab to your throat to do a throat culture!.!.!.but it's your vagina!.!.!.and slightly more complex!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My friend on the std dating & social site pozcupid !.com has the same problem with you!. You can ask her on her blog!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's uncomfortable, but doesn't hurt!.
unless you have a crappy doctor/nurse, in which case it can hurt a little, and you must tell them that it hurts!
i had a student nurse do mine once, and i had to have it redone because she didn't do it right!. to make matters worse, it had hurt me!.

i doubt it will hurt!. i've had about 10 of them and only a couple have hurt at all!. they're usually just uncomfortable!. i guess i'm just sensitive on the cervix!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
