The Essential Precaution Gynecologists Always Take Before a Pap Smear

Gynecologists advise against using intravaginal products, such as creams for yeast infections or vaginal estrogen products, before a pap smear as they can interfere with the test. Douching is also discouraged. The rules regarding intercourse before a pap smear vary, but it's generally recommended to avoid it for 24 hours before the appointment. Grooming is not necessary, and there's no problem with having a pap smear during menstruation, although heavy flow days may affect the sample. It's important to stay relaxed during the appointment and come prepared with past medical and sexual history. Pap smears are a crucial screening tool for cervical cancer and can help decrease the risk of the disease.

They also stress the importance of disclosing all medications and supplements taken, speaking up about any concerns, and getting tested for cervical cancer regularly. Seeking medical advice on the internet is discouraged, and using feminine hygiene products to "smell good" down there is not recommended.

Exploring the Dark and Twisted World of 'Dead Ringers' with Rachel Weisz and Jennifer Ehle.

Rachel Weisz and Alice Birch discuss their adaptation of the 1988 film "Dead Ringers" into a six-episode series for Amazon. The show follows identical twin gynecologists who engage in a toxic pas de deux, pushing the moral boundaries of medicine and blurring the lines between their identities. Weisz and Birch discuss the show's genesis, its many plot convolutions, its sex and birthing scenes, its queer overtones, and its shocking finale. They also talk about their research into gynecology and obstetrics, their own experiences giving birth, and the show's examination of menopause and the pressure on women to look eternally young in the entertainment industry.
