Doctors reveal what you should skip before your appointment in order to make it as smooth and accurate as possible.
According to Shepherd, avoiding sex before a pap smear isn’t an across-the-board rule, and it won’t make or break your test. But she said it’s not a bad idea to opt out of sex for 24 hours prior to your test. For additional advice, you can ask your OB-GYN their preference.Any intravaginal creams — including for things like yeast infections or vaginal atrophy — should be avoided in the days leading up to a pap smear.
So if you have an appointment for a pap smear on your heaviest flow days, Naredh said it might be beneficial to reschedule. While it’s usually fine, folks sometimes do have to go back for another test if the sample taken isn’t adequate, she noted.“If the bleeding is light, then it really isn’t a problem,” Naresh said.Certain situations bring in a relaxing vibe — pap smears ain’t it.
This can change how doctors look at results or what information they share with the patient, Shepherd noted.
