@thevagdoc: Pap smears are uncomfortable and they feel invasive. So why do you really need to do it? If you understand the history and what your body is at risk for with no cervical cancer screening this may make you feel differently and thankful for every single time you’re stuck getting a Pap smear done. #thevagdoc **** This is general educational information not specific medical advice meant for any individual
Am I the only one who doesn’t mind it at all?! My Obgyn is so smooth I barely feel it! Very important and necessary 😁

I am in my mid 50s, so why does my doctor tell me I can skip a year for my Pap smear? She’s telling me I can have my Pap smear every other year. That doesn’t sound right

Tia | OUTFIT INSPO :
I just received a call from obgyn to redo the pap inciting that there were not enough cells to give a full result but the hpv was negative. Insurance is not going to cover another one so I’d have to pay. How can there not be enough cells? I told her I’d wait to re do the test. I haven’t had an abnormal pap since 2013ish. The others have all been normal.. I’m a bit frustrated..

I personally opt out, but everyone has to do what they feel comfortable with and is right for them!

I just wish there was a less invasive way to do so, with all of the technology available.

Here in British Columbia we do it ourselves at home now. The kit is mailed to us, we use it and mail it to the lab.

Just wish there was a test for uterine and ovarian cancer. Only biopsies after it's too late.
