pain after pap test
| Wed, 12-17-2003 - 4:17am |
Hi everyone, this is my first post in this area, but I've been posting to several other boards for a while now. Anyway, I had my second ever pap test/pelvic exam today. When my Doc was poking around during the pelvic exam, she found a very tender spot on the lower right part of my abdomen. It's not bruised or anything so this confused me greatly, but she didn't seem concerned when I mentioned it. Now that the test is over and I'm at home, that area is experiencing pretty constant stabs of pain. I am also experiencing some mild cramping. Are these things normal after a pelvic exam? I have had these stabbing pains over the past week or so, but never this bad, and they have never lasted more than a few seconds.

Welcome to the board!
