Experience of My First Pap Smear

To so many people, these words are so scary. Usually because it involves the unknown. But it doesn't need to be feared. It is recommended that once you turn 21, you should get a basic pelvic exam and pap smear. A doctor may recommend an earlier one based on symptoms or other reasons, but 21 is good rule of thumb.
