I had a pap smear done a couple of weeks ago and the Dr told me that my cervix was inflamed and gave me medicine and told me to come back for a follow-up for my results of the pap smear. My period is due a couple of days before my follow-up appointment. Will I still be able to go to my appointment

It would not be advised to have an exam - pelvic while menstruating. It would be difficult for the doctor to get accurate labso completed. It is difficult to see the cervix clearly, and the symptoms [i.e soarness] can be worst.

My gynecologist has done a pap on a very light day. Call the office staff to ask. They'll know if it's OK or if you need to reschedule.
