    I’m thinking I’m gonna need one and scared as hell. When they do the Pap smear it freaking hurts- I HATE it! I can’t imagine this!!! 😭😱

      I can relate to your pain. Everytime I get a pap smear it's very painful. Last one I had I was basically in tears because of the pain. The pain doesn't get better for me. Even with me being 40. It makes me not what to get anymore. I have to have ultrasound done because heavy bleeding I have. Looks painful just watching it. 😳

      The ultrasound is very uncomfortable (the worst part is the emarrassment) but it should NOT be painful.

      @@odd-duck I don't know why it's painful for me. I know I backed out when they wanted to do novasure. They wanted me to do biopsy. They only told me to take ibuprofen. I want some kind of anaesthesia. It's like having pap smear but worse. I seen too many horror stories how people say how painful biopsy is.

    I had this procedure done today and it was far less embarrassing than I thought it was going to be. It did not hurt. The wand was much smaller than anticipated. The technician asked me to place it, she held the far end of the wand while I inserted it. All of this was done underneath the paper sheet. At each step the technician told me what she was doing. Moving to the left, moving to the right, pulling out the wand. Now I wait for the results.

    The transducer is thinner than a tampon. It gets a condom-like cover over it (latex or non-latex), and then gets smothered with lots and lots of gel. Only a few inches goes inside because the vaginal canal is not that long. The insertion and the exam should not be painful.

    I may be considering getting one if my cycles don't regulate soon, even with being on thyroid medication (was diagnosed with Hashimoto's this past summer), and I swear I'm perimenopausal. However, I'm still wanting to rule stuff out on why my cycles aren't regular.

    Im nervous about getting this done cuz after I had my first Pap smear done, I felt like I was raped due to the pain. I mean it was just really painful. I don’t know how some women go through that. So I now freak out whenever I need to get checked down there. I had a transvaginal ultrasound when I was 23 and it wasn’t painful and I had my first Pap smear at age 27 but now I’m 29 and I’ve been really sensitive and in pain down there. I’ve never had any down there problems before. So I’m nervous about if it’s going to be painful to get the wand in…

      No wayyy I’ve been putting off a Pap smear cuz of my sis in laws experience and apparently they don’t even give anything the numb the area a bit and she was in pain and they still went forward with it. I def don’t am scared I dno why and I’ve already had a kid and everything but I’d rather give birth again than get a Pap smear🤣

      @@jeezlouizHonestly same. I’d rather give birth than have a pap smear. A good gynaecologist will pause if you feel uncomfortable though. Also much better to have female gynaecologists. I’ve never heard a positive story from anyone with a male gyno.

      I've done plenty of these and the one and only time I couldn't insert the probe was because the patient had some growth in the vaginal walls that were painful and the probe couldn't be inserted.

      It depends on your body. I had 2. I was a virgin and could not even use a tampon because it was excruciatingly painful. But, my first ultrasound barely hurt and my second one didn't hurt at all.

      @0230Raveena 2 месяца назад

      OMG, there are so many things wrong with that statement. For one, a guy doing the exam should have a chaperone, likely a female who if qualified can do the exam herself. And always ask if you can insert the probe yourself. It isn't likely that a tech would say no to that.
