Information on my first pap smear and breast exam?

I was due for my first pap smear a while ago, and I hold finally made an appointment but I am almost dizzy with nerves. I tend to cry contained by uncomfortable situations and would really similar to to know exactly what to expect. If someone could give me a enormously detailed description of their experience, I would really appreciate it.

Is there anything I should do to prepare? What should I wear (for practicality - not fad!)?

I am very discomfited about mortal touched for the actual smear and the breast exam so any words of advice would be welcome.

First, a nurse will be within the room with you while the Dr. is doing the exam. If not, later request one to be there. She can hold your mitt or comfort you during the exam.
It is a little humiliated and is made worse by tightening up your pelvic muscles. Practice relaxation techniques previously going. You will be placed on an exam table with your foot up in stirrups, knees bent and pointed outward. You are covered by a sheet. The Dr. will insert a metal speculum that locks in place to hold the vaginal muscles stretch out during the exam. He/she will visualize the cervix and surrounding area to look for any abnormality, with a insubstantial. Then he/she will swab the area beside a cotton q-tip to put under a microscope to look at the cell. He/she will then insert their fingers of one foot into the opening while palpating your lower tummy with the other to touch for any abnormalities. Then a rectal exam will be done soon for the same use. Speculum will come out and end of exam.
The breast exam is massively simple and they will teach you how to do it yourself at home and even confer you a reminder card to hang within your shower. The Dr. will palpate each breast near both hands probing for any lumps. This doesn't take but a few minutes. And adjectives is over.
No woman likes this, but it is a required procedure to get precipitate detection of any abnormality that could save your natural life.
You will survive and live through it!

Why am i soo cold all the time?

honey, you won't be wearing a entry..just a moment or two paper gown. I doubt you're going to cry.the breast exam is self explanatory and the speculum is rather pressure and the dr will palpate your ovaries. it's part of growing up, don't verbs, once you've had babies, you lose adjectives that modesty :) Last exam, my Dr and I talked something like real estate. it didn't situation that I was stripped and he was doing his piece..just relax, it's not that unpromising!

Can someone help, please?

I be so worried my first time to, the fact that you obligation to take bad your pants and underwear can be daunting but for some modest they furnish you a blanket and then put in the picture you to lift your legs so you're lay down with your foot on the bed so that way they can shine a insubstantial on your private region to get a honest look at you.
Next they will get the speculum, place some special lubrication on it and insert it into your vagina, this can surface a little chance because it is cold and is hard and you basically think - omg, this is strange!
Then they will place a kind of stick item wit a brush on the end into the speculum and turn it around to collect some cell.
And then it is adjectives over, they give you a tissue to wipe yourself beside and leave the room so you can own some modesty while you redress yourself.

I took an after morning pill and this is what happened?

Dido to the ending response. Yeah the first time youll be as nervous as hell, but really everyone of us go through this regulary. The dc will know its your first time, he or she will talk you through it, informing you of what they are doing in the past they do it. Just breath and relax, and itll be over really quickly. As for your clothing youll own a naked bottom partially, but the Dr will leave the room for you to strip and pass you a white towel to place over the top of you, so you feel comfortable and thaw. They then will grasp a 'break' like device ( sorry i dont know what its called) lube it for a while, and that is inserted into your vagina, it wind out to open it up, later a spactular is inserted into the 'beak' . It will tickle as they sqirl it over you cervix to collect a cell scraping. It is adjectives then removed. It is a exceptionally quick procedure mate.You may spot afterwards but this is average.

Question for the females!!- Have you ever experienced female ejaculation?

I want to make it extraordinarily clear to you that you CAN request a female be contained by the room with you, whether it be your mom, a friend or a nurse. I would recommend that as its your first time.

You will ask to obtain undressed and to remove your bra and underwear, and to put on a paper gown. During your vainal exam, you will put your foot into sterups at the end of the exam table. They will insert something into you that will create it easier for them to take a scrape to put onto a slide, as well do an internal next to two fingers to check for any abnormalities that are palpable. Then they will do a breast exam to check for lumps, etc.

The first time is the worst. Because you dont know what to fully expect, and because you are emabarrassed. No entail to be, doctors have see a million vaginas in their time. It may be slightly uncomfortable physically, but it doesnt hurt. Just breathe surrounded by through your nose, and out through your mouth to relax.

Getting a pap smear is really big for your health. Its not fun, I grant, but it is something you should NOT put off.

Again, bring a feminine into the room with you to engender it more comfortable.
