just reading about it i dont think i would feel comfortable
with getting one done
If you can't get a pap smear then you haven no business having sex. This is part
of being an adult woman, you must take care of your health and it is important
to get regular pelvic exams, especially if you are sexulally active.
Also if you do not know he answer to this question you should not be having
sex... Have you heard of condoms? Although you should always use condoms even if
you are on hormonal birth control for STD protection I would still say you need
a back up form of protection
You just have to not worry about it, it's really not that bad as long as you're
mature and responsible enough to handle it. Your doctor has seen many vaginas,
so don't feel self-conscious about yours. It may make you feel more comfortable
to see a female doctor, I know that helped me a lot. Also, the doctor does
everything to make sure it is not awkward. She does not allow for awkward
silences and pauses, and explains what she is going to do before she does it. It
goes by quickly, and it's definitely worth it to get on some birth control.
Like that other person said, if you do not feel comfortable with a doctor
looking down there, you should not be comfortable with having boys look down
there and you have no business being sexually active. Just be responsible and
tell yourself it will be worth the fifteen minute physical exam to get on birth
control.
I just got one done and i was so freaked out before and i thought it was going
to be akward and really uncomfortable, but it ended up being alright and it
really wasnt bad at all. Just go to a womans clinc or to a woman doctor to get
it done. And it doesnt hurt you will just feel slight pressure. But if your
having sex and going in for bc your most likely going to have to get it done.
And your definatly going to have to get one done if your getting BC for your
period.
Yeah you can go to walmart and get some condoms...that the only thing you can
get without a pap.
But you want a pap to check for other things ....like cervical cancer...Believe
me no woman I know that jumped for joy and ran to her OB/GYN for a pap smear.
But if you are responsible then you will do the right thing.
Pap smears are NOTHING! They take 30 seconds and it is done. Female health is
super important so get over the fear and get it done. There is no shame or pain
involved. If you are willing to let a guy down there, then you should be more
than o.k. with a doctor doing his job. Good luck!
No you shouldn't be able to get birth control without a full exam and yes, that
includes that pap smear. Keep in mind doctors have seen everything, you have
nothing to worry about.
I never had a pap when I was on birth control. I was however only 12 years old.
although they're not a big deal, i got the depo shot w/o a pap...but thats
usually only if you're a virgin at the time.
