So i had mine yesterday and it felt like pinching and cramping when he tried to open my cervix. He then pulled the speculum out and told me he was going to get a longer one--I'm 53, never had kids, and haven't had sex in...longer than I'd care to remember. Anyway, he said that my uterus is tilted backwards and that my cervix is "high" and he kept assuring me the speculum wasn't bigger just longer. He tried again and it was fine! So one size does not fit all!

I had a horrible one today. I'm 30yo and been having pap tests every 2 years since I was 16. Always been uncomfortable/unpleasant but no pain. Start of this year I miscarried at 7 weeks, they tried to use a speculum but felt like pinching/ripping my inner walls when they inserted it, I screamed and cried out and burst into tears, they couldn't continue. Now I'm 21 weeks pregnant again and today was freaking out at having another speculum inserted since the last one was so bad, and yep it was just as bad if not worse. I asked her to use a small one but it was excruciating, it felt like my skin was being cut by the blades as it went in and I screamed and cried in agony, the doctor was freaking out! I am not sure what the issue is as I have no problem with intercourse, transvaginal ultrasound or tampons, but the speculum just causes me so much grief! I am thinking there is some skin that gets caught/pinched by the metal as it goes in?! I hope she got enough sample today, because I'm certain I can never have another one inserted - I'm traumatised!

Premarin is made from Pregnant mares urine.
They mare never sees daylight an is always kept impregnated an as little water as possible to keep urine concentrated. I bag is placed on her for catching urine while standing virtually 25/7 in a small stanchon.
Keep your damn drug so you can be comphy once a year. Prem pro Premerin are made from this barbaric mare farming. Use plant HRT drugs. See what they ate made from.

I went in today for an infection problem and they asked about having a breast examination and pap smear since I was due and I decided why not since I'm here I guess that means I won't have to go back again at least. Had a new doctor this time. First off the breast exam was done with the paper shirt on which seems a little odd if they're looking for lumps cause I think it'd be hard that way. Secondly the pap smear hurt like hell. The first time I had my pap smear I let out a small yell of pain but this time it hurt so bad I let out some screams of pain and cried out a couple times. I dunno if it's the way the doctor did it or not but I think I'm gonna go back to the original doctor next time. The last doctor was also a lot more friendly than this one.

I have had the same terrible pain with a year long tratment after my last smear. I've never experienced anything like this before & have had all my smears. I've been on preventative antibiotics & numerous antibiotics as since this was done I ended up in hospital straight away (through bkeeding & pain) & have had constant uti infections since. I too have been through tge menopause & not sexual active

Here's what you can do: look into vaginal dilators which come in a set of 5. Use each size 5 to 10 minutes a day for about or 4 weeks, then go on to the next size. These dilators gently stretch open the vagina. Because you are not engsging in penetrative sex, your vaginal opening is shrinking and etting smaller from not being used. This is quite normal after menopause. It is true that if you do not use it, you lose it because the whole sex thing keeps everything engorged, keeps the elasticity of the tissues and lubricates everything naturally. Also, another thing you can do is masturbate ahead of time and I am certainly not kidding, this relaxes you and gets the juices going and natural lubrication helps the pap smear process alot. The only time I failed to do this and it was a bit painful. Also, get a penis shaped vibrator or sex toy to help and definitely get some sort of clitoral stimulator too. Good luck toyou.

A pap smear is the worst pain I have ever felt. I was a victim of a vicious dog attack and that was nothing compared to a pap smear. I would take the pain of a dog attack over a pap any day and both are unbearable.

I have the problem where the spectrum opens up and I am in severe pain on the top of where the spectrum touches my vagina. My doctor could not finish the exam because of my pain. She said she will be in touch. If I find any useful info I'll pass it on.

I had the most painful pap test of my life today. I'm 70 with nothing wrong that I know of. The doctor said she couldn't find the cervix possibly because of a prolapse She kept trying and every time it hurt like hell. The only reason I decided to have the pap test is because in the past I had a cone biopsy and later a Leep procedure for polyps. Sure don't want to go back.

That’s good information! I just had one with a female doctor and it hurt so bad! Thought I might faint. It never hurt that bad before with a male doctor. Now she thinks she may not have enough and have to repeat

Hi I am 58 years old and this is the 1st time I have ever had a painful pap with bleeding after. I have not had a men cycle in 7 years. I was just wondering if anyone on here ever recieved and answers to their questions?

If we're passed menopause and both partners are faithful to each other, there is no need to get a pap smear. Especially if all prior tests have been negative. There is way too much pain involved and I will not get another one.

I'm 60 had a smear on Wednesday, I've never found them easy but got through them. However on this occasion I couldn't stand the pain, it felt as though I was actually been cut inside. The doctor had to stop and I just couldn't help crying. Your experience sounds so similar mine. I've been given some suppositories to for a number of weeks. I question if it is a lack of estrogen, I'm dreading go back and I'm so glad for the comments on this page. I felt as though it was my fault and that if I'd relaxed I would have coped fine and that no one else struggled like me. It's good to hear I'm not alone, but sorry to know others have had the same experience.
