hey guys so I have a male doctor who i do not feel comfortable having a pap test done by him. I wanted to go to my local Planned Parenthood and call to schedule a pap test. My doctor had prescribed my birth control for i think up to almost a year's worth but every 3 months i had to go back to pharmacY to get them 3 packs at a time. he said by the time i got to my last refill i had to schedule an appointment with him to meet and have a pap test since being sexually active. (since may) I am now on my first pack out of the last 3 refills i can get without being back to see him . I was wondering how it works if i go to PP and then they simply transfer results to my doctor or if i should first meet with him and tell him first i would like to have it done through PP? im also curious does it hurt?
They would send the results to your doctor. Can you talk to the receptionist when you make your appointment, telling her that you are uncomfortable having him do it? My doc has nurse-practitioners who take care of the pap smears. It is uncomfortable having the speculum inserted and can be like a pinch when they take the sample. Sometimes I have felt nothing. It's pretty quick, though. Try to relax, and you'll do fine.
I've only had 2 Pap test and I'm going on 30. They hurt like hell for me. I don't use tampons and never been with anyone before. So when I've had one done it wasn't too pleasant. But I dough it will hurt for you since you have been with someone
