I wish men wouldn't comment on things they know absolutely nothing about. I had a biopsy
end of February and diagnosed with cervical and uterine cancer. I'm going for surgery for port to get chemo on Wednesday. The biopsy, while unpleasant, was done by a female gynecological surgeon. This male doctor sounds like he's going in there as if fixing a piece of machinery. I'd love for you to get a female to do it. I've actually had 2. The first one I had was done by my gynecologist, a male, and he didn't get enough tissue. I then saw the female because CT scan showed suspected mass. She would tell me before she did each thing. I playfully told my family it felt like she was after my tonsils. I even yelled out the word........fff***cccckkkkk....then said sorry about that. It was over in a very short time. If you've had children then that hurt worse than the biopsy. Routine paps should not hurt if they are done right. She had to go way up in my cervix to get tissue and even farther for uterine tissue and that's why it hurt but it hurt for less than 5 seconds. I believe the scraping to get cells hurt worse than the swabbing did but like I said, it only hurt for less that 5 seconds. Good luck and remember to just breathe.....it will be ok.
