I just had mine on Friday!. I have no interest in dying from a disease that is easily diagnosed by a painless procedure once a year!. It is only violating if you do not agree to the exam!. I know it is uncomfortable at times but in the end you will be healthier for it!. If you are a young woman, you may not need a pap every year!. Remember to relax, take deep breaths and it will be over with soon!.
Wait until you get pregnant!. You will have your doctor or midwife's fingers in your vagina to see how you are progressing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I dont think they are extremely painful!. The key is to relax your entire body and ease your muscles!.!. I do not think of it as violating because my doctor is assuring me of my health! I feel reassured after I get a good checkup! If it bothers you try to just relax and think about something else ;)Www@Answer-Health@Com
