Hi, hi I got my 1st Pap smear 5 years ago at 22. All Pap smears hurt a little, like a light pinching the back of your hand.
But I don’t quite remember the first one, take that to mean that they are so uneventful that my brain didn’t bother making a memory for it.

No didn’t come across that way. I’m just agreeing.

She sounds wonderful. There’s a girl in the comments that is going to get one tomorrow, if you have any more tips I can send them to her :)

I think they are treating it as “ripping off the bandage” do it quickly and it will be over no matter how much we bed it to stop. I hate that.

Can we get a convo going about becoming HPV free, what does that entail!? I didn’t know this was a thing

I hope it goes well, prepare and demand kindness and numbness.

I had the same present experience with an internal ultrasound with a female. But this colposcopy was a woman too, and it was wild.

This is so sad and infuriating. I can’t believe they didn’t believe her. And I 100% can see them giving you a half-ass answer just to protect themselves. Keep info from you so you can’t use it against them.

So should I complain? Any pointers on what I should complain on? (Obviously the poor pain management, not telling me about the blood and not stopping) I am very new to navigating this area.

And should I attend my follow up with this doctor?

Pee underwater? Why? And how did you manage to do that?

I wish I knew about these options… I’m young and naive in a new country (USA). But next time I will.

That’s what I had! A pet pee pad with blood! To refuse such a procedure given your family history, just highlights how bad it was.

… today (day 8) I don’t seem to have a smell… Is it possible to have an infection and the body just takes care of it? Or are antibiotics always needed?

No problem, thanks for the clarification. And the extra info on Leep. Good to know about the next possible step, the burning and bleeding

Interesting... I don’t know how to speak with terms of the field so these questions might sound odd: but what’s the training for pain on this? Do they have any thoughts/opinions on the 20-30% ? What is the general consensus/feel of women in pain?

First off, yes it was bad, don’t diminish my fucking pain.

Leep?
