Pap Smear Help please?!


Question: Pap Smear Help please!?
My girlfriend went into gynocologist two days ago to have a pap smear done, and she was too tense according to the doctor to do it!. She went to free clinic, because she doesnt have health insurance!. Anyway, she has an appointment with a real gyno next week, and she's scared to death, because the first time was so painful for her, and they didnt even finish it!. We've never had sex, and don't plan on it anytime soon, so she's never had anything in that area!. She has never wore a tampon, so you can imagine how painful it must of been!. What can she do ahead of appointment to "relax" !.!.!.she doesnt want to go pay for an appointment only to have them say they can't do it, because she's in college and broke!. Should she take a pill or something!? Please no stupid answers!. This is a very serious thing, because her mom died of ovarion cancer!. What can she do to relax!? Something other than just simply telling her to "relax!." Www@Answer-Health@Com

man, i feel her pain!. i am also a 19 year old college student who has never had sex and won't until marriage!. I have been having some female issues and really needed to go in to the gyno to have testing done!. She's right, it does hurt!. However, I think it is way more uncomfortable than actual pain!. I don't think i would have liked having any other person in there with me but I went to a male gyno and had a female nurse standing beside me!. That helped ease me a little bit!. Also, you might want to go with her and just explain to the nurse how uneasy she is about the procedure!. They can talk to her about the procedure and ease her nerves!. Just keep telling her how important it is that she gets this done!. It's the best preventative measure for ovarian cancer and other things when dealing with the female reproductive system!.

The free clinics are in the attitude of get them in and get them out!. That is because they are so overwhelmed with patients!. If she is going to an actual clinic, she will hopefully experience things much differently!. I actually won't be near as anxious or scared the next time I have to go in, which is 6 months away!. I don't know how close you are, but maybe you could go in and hold her hand!. They use gowns and drapes so you wouldn't see anything!. I don't know if that would be an option for you two or not!. Good luck, though!

Ok first of all my first experience was similar, I was a virgin and I did not wear tampons!. She should tell the nurse these things and ask that they use a child size speculum!. Then the hard part is to try to just let your legs fall to the side, that will cause the pelvic floor to relax, and with a child sized speculum she should be much more comfortable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
