There are two types of pap smear test which you can request when you do a pap smear. One is the conventional method and the other is the liquid-based cytology. Your doctor will gently insert an instrument called a speculum into your vagina. The speculum holds the walls of your vagina apart so that your doctor can easily see your cervix. Inserting the speculum may cause a sensation of pressure in your pelvic area. Then, your doctor will take samples of your cervical cells using a soft brush and a flat scraping device called a spatula. After that they will send your samples to the lab.
