What is a Scholarly Source? When I use the term scholarly source, I mean a source that is peer reviewed or published in a recognized scholarly source, like a journal or a university publisher. How do you tell the difference between a scholarly source and other sources?
Tell the doctor in charge that you are using this medicine before having any laboratory test, because some test results may be affected. For vaginal creams or suppositories: 1  Avoid using latex condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps for up to 72 hours after using estrogen vaginal creams.
You may be instructed not to douche or tub bathe for 24 hours before the Pap test is to be performed. You may also be asked to refrain from sexual intercourse for 24 to 48 hours before the test. Do not use any vaginal creams or foams for 48 hours prior to the exam and do not schedule the test during your menstrual period.
