It will probably be uncomfortable, but it shouldn't be painful, and it shouldn't take long at all. If they're doing a full pelvic and breast exam also, it will take a little longer.

During the pap smear, they'll take a device called a specula and insert it into your vagina. They're usually made of metal, so they might be a little cold. This device opens up so they can better view your cervix. They'll take a look at your cervix to make sure there aren't any visual abnormalities, and then they'll use a swab to swipe the cervix, collecting a sample of cervical cells that they'll later send off for analysis. They'll check these cells for abnormalities, viruses, and certain bacteria that can be dangerous. This is a VERY important part of the exam, as early signs of cervical cancer can be detected this way.

no it doesent hurt but it is a bit uncomfortable specialy if your a virgin but its nothing unbareble. they put the speculum in your vagina and the doc checks with fingers and eyes if everything looks normal. thats about it
good luck and dont worry its not painfull.

I personally have never had a pap smear done, nor have any of my friends spoken about it. But I believe if you have had sex before, it will not hurt. But I am not sure of this.

A pap smear is what your doctor does to check for signs of cancer of the cervix. The cervix is part of your uterus (womb). To take the sample, your doctor will put a special instrument called a speculum into your vagina. This helps open your vagina so the sample can be taken. Your doctor will gently clean your cervix with a cotton swab and then collect a sample of cells with a small brush, a tiny spatula or a cotton swab. This sample is put on a glass slide and sent to a lab to be checked.

It does not take long at all. You will hop on the beg. You l;lay down, ankle's together and knees apart. If the nurse is kind she will worm up the instrument first as it is crom. It will be inserted and then she will use a long cotton bud, type thing and just rub it on your insides. It does not hurt but is a little strange.

Ya want an honest answer right? I had one done a couple years back when I was 18 and I was still a virgin. It hurt like a mother ****er. My mom was there with me holding my hand. It was very uncomfortable as there was a student doctor there and she kept the tong like instrument in place longer than was necessary so that the student could see my Hymen. Even with the delay it only took a few minutes. I have been told that after sex they are not as painful and uncomfortable.

Hope this helps.

DONT HURT,a little tickle,it takes less than 5 min,they put ,your legs apart,and feet in sterups,they use a plastic ,of metal,instument,to insert into your vagina ,and they open it up a little so they can insert a long q tip swab,they remove,it and you are done ,your swab,is put in a plastic container,and sealed ,It goes to a lab,you only get results if ,it shows abnormal cells,if every thing is ok ,your dr,will tell you after 1 week,thats it !!,have fun,!!they are very important so do them when your dr, orders them ,usually 1 time a yr.M

I don't think it hurts, only because it's an uncomfortable situation. No matter how weird it is, it's definately better to have one!
