1 Remember that this is the doctorâs job to perform pap smears. 2  They will have seen a whole lot of vaginas before so they will not be fussed about seeing yours.And believe me, they wonât care about what underwear you have on or your grooming habits either. The doctor (or nurse) will expect this if itâs your very first pap smear, and theyâll explain to you what theyâre going to do so you know whatâs going on. 2  To make yourself more comfortable, Iâd suggest wash just before you go, and wear underwear and clothes that are easy to remove.
In the United States, Pap smear screening is recommended starting around 21 years of age until the age of 65. Guidelines on frequency vary from every three to five years. If results are abnormal, and depending on the nature of the abnormality, the test may need to be repeated in six to twelve months. Pap smear is performed by opening the vaginal canal with a speculum, then collecting cells at the outer opening of the cervix at the transformation zone (where the outer squamous cervical cells meet the inner glandular endocervical cells).
