Here it is recommended every year after age 18. I've had two of them done before, and they didn't hurt me a bit. They are a little uncomfortable, but if you tense up it makes it worse. You just have to relax, and before you know it it's over. I had a friend tell me once that it tickled her, and it drove her and the doctor insane because the doctor couldn't get the test done and she couldn't make it stop tickling!

Yes, I had the pap smear test done with me every year since i turned 40. It is doctor's advice that women aged 30 and above should have it every year, but it can also be performed to younger women ages 20 and up if they want to or they have signs of abnormalities in their female system. It doesnt hurt that much. You just have to be relax, few minutes its done and over.

Haven't tried, I'm scared actually. They say that it hurts, but of course I'm not sure since I haven't tried.

It doesn't hurt that bad. In fact, many times I don't really feel anything. It is a quick exam and it really isn't that bad at all. Once you go, then you won't be so afraid the next time. Remember that gynecologists to this all of the time and you should be ok. If you don't have a Dr, ask a good friend who she recommends.
