What exactly goes on during a pap smear?
I am also extremely worried it will trigger me and I will end up throwing punches or dissociating does anyone have any suggestions to help with this since I have a feeling knocking out a nurse is a no no in the medical world 
Thank you all

Pap smears are uncomfortable but they don't hurt. all they do is open you up with some kind of scope. They look inside to check for any cervical abnormalities. Then they take a long q-tip and swab your cervix. I don't know what to tell you about the dissociation because I usually take a xanax before I go in because pap smears make me nervous to.
