I wasent sure where to ask this but I was wondering if paps and pelvic exams can tell if you have warts or herpes? I have had one done recently and was told that everything was OK but I'm kind of worried recently that past couple of days I have had a few pimples down there and I wasent sure if this is caused by shaving? Or if you get them when you stop for awhile, the past 3 months have had irrregular periods occassionall stomach aches and a few head aches along with my periods and I tend to be really heavy, I went in for an ultrasound but they still couldn't find anything wrong or abnormal? Would an ultrasound find if there was something going on? I'm really worried and need some advice please if anyone can help that would be great

A pap smear only looks for abnormal cells to see if you have cancerous cells. But your doctor usually examines the area for any abnormalities, such as warts or herpes. If you are concerned, you should contact your ob/gyn for another visit to be sure.

But stds are abnormal and wouldn't it show in the test or ultrasound, I was told that everything was fine... but the more I think about it, it scares me. Another question if I had something wouldn't my partner get it after unprotected sex for 6 months? I tried calling to make an appointment but they were closed and won't be open until Monday and I don't think I can wait that long to get an answer its driving me crazy!!
Thanks for your input on it
