You will strip down, put on a paper gown, lie on an examination table, legs in stirrups, the doctor will probably do a breast exam first!.!. Then he or she will use a speculum
( looks like an alligator not teeth) to open the vagina, the doctor will swab the inside of the vagina with a large Q-Tip, then the doctor will take a plastic spatula and scrape cells off the wall of the vagina!.!. This will all be sent to a lab for testing!. for STD's ,Infections and Cancer!.
If you have just stopped your period, started your period or are about to start your period they will not preform the pap because it will give an abnormal result!.
That is a pap exam in a nut shell!.!.Hope it helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well its embarrassing, just realize the dr does it all the time! I just close my eyes n pretend i'm elsewhere!. you have to sit in stirrpups, the dr sticks a cotton swab n stuff up you!.!.!.if it hurts let her know, it shouldnt hurt, but sometimes does for me, not too bad tho!. she just looks up u!. she may also check for breast cancer!. also, urine sample!. If you choose go to a woman dr! i went to a man wen i was 14 n was so embarrassed i was bawling!.

but truly!? it's not that bad
