Pap Test

Hey, i've had my period for four years and
I use tampons (i dont know if that really
matters) im not preggo as far as I know.
But i've never had a pap test, is this a
bad thing? My bf thinks I should get one
to make sure everythings ok up there, but
I dont like the idea of spreading my legs
for a stranger and letting them shove caca
in me and look around. I had a hard
enough time getting naked infront of my bf
when I wanted to! What should I do?

Depends on how old you are. Most docs
reccomend that you have your first pap
when you turn 18. If you are sexually
active then yes, go just to be safe.
Remember always look out for yourself!
They are a little awkward though,
especially the first one. A little
uncomfortable, but not painful. If you
have a family doctor then thats a good
choice, that way he/she won't be a total
stranger. Goodluck.

Yes I am sexualy active, but I cant go to
my family doctor cause he is a stranger
too, considering i've only seen him twice!
My old doctor switched into hospital
worker but he didnt like it so now he
works at a walk in clinik, and he's the
only doctor i've ever trusted because he
was my birth doctor. I am 16 so should I
wait till im 18?

It's up to you sweetie. If it were me
yes, I would get a pap, just to be safe.
Now that you are active you need to take
precautions. There is so much stuff out
there and you don't want to get
caught...So do whats best for you. Not
trying to scare u or anything just trying
to make you aware. I lost my virginity at
16, and my mom and I scheduled an
appointment about a month later. I get
one once a year. They don't only look and
test for diseases, they also look for
cyts, fibroids, ect.

it would be retarded if you didnt get a
pap.
You think your mature enough to have sex
if you cant even get checked out by a
doctor to see if everything is okay with
your body?
Thats doing it dumb.

Im sorry you had to think im stupid! But
have you ever heard of emotional problems,
like having a hard time trusting strangers
because the way your family raises you and
also have problems with your body. I dont
want people looking at my body because I
dont think its nice looking. Im sorry if
you think im stupid. I have a hard enough
time seeing myself naked in the mirror.

It is recomended that you have a papsmear
every 2 years once you are sexually
active, find a doctor that you feel
comfortable with, it may even be more
comfortable to see a female doctor. If
you have a womens health clinic near you
they may do paps there or be able to refer
you to a doctor that they feel will make
you feel at ease. Try asking an older
freind or family member who they see.....
In the end its your body and you have to
feel comfortable with who you see . Pap
smears are not as bad as ppl make them
out to be, just relax and remember that
they are a nessacery part of life and it
could save yours.... Good luck sweetie

your dumb.
You cant even stand to let a doc see you
naked but you want a baby with your
boyfriend?
Do you even know half the things doctors
do when you're pregnant?
They'll feel your boobs to make sure
everything is okay, to make sure you dont
have any lumps.
He'll look at your vagina and your
butthole to make sure everything looks
like its in its normal place, and you
actually want to give birth?
Your legs are going to be flung open
pushing as hard as you possibly can, your
vagina is going to be seen by a lot of
people.
And your still b*tching about how you dont
want anyone to see you naked. If you
wanna get pregnant then get used to it
sweetheart.
At the end of your pregnancy the doctor
will check you once a week to see if you
are dialated.
Dont blame your childness on your family.

Wow! You need to shut up! Now!! She
obviously posted this for your advice, not
for you to call her stupid. I think you
are the stupid one for not respecting
peoples feelings and emotions. So she is
scared, everyone is scared of something
for the first time. She did not say she
could not do it, she just said she is
scared. I am glad you are so easy to
just spread your legs to some stranger,
shows why you are on here!

for your information you nosey b*tch
i'm happy to stay healthy and would spread
my legs for any doctor who could diagnose
any problem I would have, im not some
immature sl*t like this little girl, who
wants to have a baby but cant even get
checked by a doing it doctor.
If you're too vagina to get checked by a
doctor then you dont need to be having sex
period.

Me being nice or not you should take my
advice.
I have a yearly pap test, I was due for
one when I was 5 months pregnant & it
came back that I have cervical cancerous
tissue that I have to get cut out after
the babys birth.
I could of went on and on with that, it
could of spread and i'd have to end up
getting my woman parts taken out.
If I would of let that go on without
treatment, I would of never been able to
have kids again.
Nobody wants to go through that.

I apologize for being so mean, but its
your life and your decisions.
You either take my advice or not.
But when it comes to being healthy I don't
care who I have to open my legs for i'd do
it for any doctor if they could pick up
any problem I may have now or may have in
the future.

Its ok, my mom had cancer of the cirvix
and got her parts removed now she cant
have children but it didnt bother her
since she already was 30 something and had
all the kids she wanted. One thign about
the pap test is how do I bring it up that
I need one, I mean I live with nothing but
guys (mom walked out, still lives in town
but she dosnt do caca) and my dad would be
weirded out, he only thinks u need a pap
test if you've had sex and he dosnt know
i've had sex (since that didnt start long
ago, plus it aint his buisness anyways) so
what am I to do?

Do you have a planned parenthood where you
live?
You dont even have to go to planned
parenthood, look in the phone book &
find even a female obgyn doctor that you'd
be comfortable with. Call and make an
appointment.
Tell her you want your first pap smear
since you're sexually active.
Doctors aren't allowed to tell your
parents anything if you don't want them
too. I know planned parenthood is really
good about that and when they call your
home they wont even talk to any of your
parents about the situation, they'll ask
for you.

In england I guess its different.
I am 21 and they tell us to wait till we
are 25 to have a pap..
I guess cause you guys all have to pay for
it they like to do it as often as possible
to get more money.. While her is all
included in the national health service we
have.
