Small cervix?
Okay so I had my first Pap smear about a year ago, I was graduating from college and wanted to get everything checked out before I lost the school health insurance and it was the single most painful thing I had ever experienced, I genuinely screamed during it
Anyways, something the doctor had said to me was that I had a “small cervix” and that seemed to be the reason she had some difficulty during the Pap smear, I didn’t ask any questions about if she meant a “short cervix” or what because I wasn’t aware of things like short cervixes at the time
So my questions are what exactly is a “small cervix” and was that the reason it hurt so much during the Pap smear? Because when I told my roommate what the doc had said, she seemed to believe that it meant that sex was going to be painful for me even though I’ve had toys up there, but maybe they just weren’t as big as the speculum so I need to worry about the size of what goes in there? And also what are some other things I need to be aware of with a “small cervix” because I tried to look up on my own what that might affect but no matter what I look up it all goes back to short cervixes during pregnancy specifically
I’m no longer on any health insurance currently to go to a doctor to ask, so any information y’all can give me here is greatly appreciated!!!
