To ensure your Pap smear is most effective, follow these tips prior to your test:
Avoid:
- Intercourse
- Douching
- Vaginal Medicine or spermicide Foams, creams, jellies 2 days before. As they may wash away or obscure abnormal cells.
- Try not to schedule a Pap Smear during your menstrual period.
Note:
Pap Smears should be done from the 7th day after your last period.
