Yep. Of course I have it. Here's my question. Can/will my gyno do a pap under a light sedative? I'm not sexually active, nor planning to be. I'm almost 66 - though that's not the reason...just that I already had thinning and some stenosis. I tried the dilators. Honestly, I don't have enough incentive to go through all that agony. It really was painful when I urinated for about 3 days after each try! So not worth it to me. So I see the gyno in two weeks...but not for a pap. That will be in December. Do you think she can/will use anesthesia then? Thanks, Lynn
Hi Lynne (Teletubby),
I was told by my surgeon & oncologist that smear tests if too difficult or uncomfortable to do the regular way can be done under sedation, here in the UK that would mean a hospital admission though. I had a smear test prior to my surgery so not due another just yet but a lady I have contact with had hers recently & the nurse, as Amazing Grace has said, used the smallest speculum & she said it was fine.
