You will enter the doctor's room and they might want to ask you a few questions about your general health, periods and sexual activity!. The doctor will ask you to remove your lower clothing, get on the bed and cover yourself with a sheet!. (They wont watch you undress)!.

Once you're ready the doctor and maybe a nurse will approach you on the couch!. The doctor will take a seat at the end of the bed and lift to sheet up so they can see the vagina area!. You might have your legs in stirrups but most places will simply ask you to shuffle your bottom right to the end of the bed and flop your legs out like a frog!. The doctor will then take a speculum, hopefully lubricate it, and then insert it into your vagina!. The speculum itself is about the diameter of a medium sized carrot!. Once inside the vagina, the doctor will open the speculum which can be uncomfortable and a bit of a shock so hopefully they will warn you!. At this point it's important you try to relax as much as possible as the more tense you are the more painful it will be!. The doctor will then be handed the swab by the nurse which is like a mini toilet brush!. They will put this just into the cervix and twist it round a few times to take a cervial sample!. They will then put the brush into a little pot to be sent for analysis!. They will then remove the speculum!.

From the time the speculum goes in to the time it comes out, will take less than a minute!. I wouldnt call the procedure 'painful' but it is quite uncomfortable and if you arent expecting it just the shock of the speculum opening can make you tense up!.

It's not too bad really!. Good luck!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll have to take your panties off and wear a gown!. You will lay down on the exam table and put your feet into stir-ups and will scoot up Your bottom to the end of the table abit!. you'll lay down and the doctor will take a long Q tip swab and will insert it into your Vagina ( it doesn't hurt at all) it kind of tickles and it only takes seconds and it's done and over with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
