Before this test

This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.

Usually needs no special preparation; if combined with a Pap test, avoiding sex, douching and vaginal products for 2 days beforehand is common.

Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are menstruating or had recent intercourse; the test can usually still be done.

Afterwards: Light spotting afterward is common and usually stops within a few hours.
