Just bathe before you go, and you won't
smell. Also, keep in mind that the
gyno is pretty used to that kind of thing.
Just relax and your pap won't be bad.
It's no big thing. I think getting
nervous about it is the worst part.
I also noticed some of your other
questions, so I thought i'd answer them
here.. I don't see why you couldn't have
a bubble bath the night before a gyno
appt. And no, the doctor wouldn't think
that anything was wrong with you because
of it. You shouldn't douche though,
because that messes with the natural
balance inside you. Easier to get
infections that way.
Also, you asked why people need a pap
before getting on birth control. They
want to take your blood pressure and
everything to determine which pill you
should be on (or whichever birth control
you want to try), and you get a pap just
so that they can make sure everything is
fine.
