    Excruciating painful pap smear
    Yesterday I had a pap smear and it was so painful that I thought that the doctor would have to stop the exam.

    She finally went to a smaller speculum but even the smaller size speculum really hurt.

    Is it normal for a pap smear to hurt so much?

    Can sedatives be given to make the patient relax and therefore cause less pain?
