Information for Your First Pap Exam:
If you have not had a pap exam or are interested in
starting a birth control method and have not yet had a pap
exam, you must attend a GYN orientation prior to the
examination. At the GYN orientation, information regarding
the pap exam, STD's and birth control are discussed.
Scheduling a Pap or Annual:
To schedule your annual exam, please check your
menstrual calendar and allow up to two weeks to
schedule.
Preparing for your Exam:
48 hours prior to your exam please DO NOT douche,
have sexual intercourse or use any vaginal medications,
creams, jellies, foams, suppositories or tampons. Please
do not sit in a jacuzzi or bath tub, showers are okay. Any
of these activities can lead to an infection or inaccurate
pap tests.
If you are
currently taking birth control pills, an emergency pack of
pills can be prescribed if needed before your Annual Pap
exam is scheduled.
