I have to go to the doctor for my first Pap test soon. I know that they take cells from your cervix and vagina. Does this mean that if you still have your hymen, it will have to be broken or is the hole in the hymen big enough for the applicator to fit through? I'm still a virgin and I still have my hymen, so I was just wondering. Thanks for your help.

If you are still a virgin let your doctor know and I'm sure they will do everything they can to be considerate of this and make you comfortable. If you have never had sexual intercourse before it is likely to be a little sore because the instrument they use to reach your cervix is of a considerable size. However, just because you haven't had sexual intercourse before doesn't necessarily mean your hymen will still be intact. Sports, inury,sexual activity(not necessarily intercourse) and veen tampon use can break the hymen long before you lose your virginity.But at the end of the day, a little pain is far better than the alternative whereby you might miss a diagnosis in it's early stages.
I wouldn't stress too much it probably won't be as bad as you think.

It shouldn't be too bad. If you've never had intercourse your hymen still could be broken from tampons, physical exercise etc.

If it's not, don't worry, just talk to your health care provider about it and i'm sure they'll be aware of making everything even more comfortable.

considerable size? i thought it was supposed to be the size of like a little lollipop stick, and that it isn't supposed to hurt at all but maybe just feel a little uncomfortable.
like the others said your hymen may not even be intact because it can be broken in other ways. most hymens have a gap in them anyway as this allows your period to flow through. the shape and thickness of a hymen varies per person. some are even born without them. even if the stick does go through your hymen it may not necessarily break - sometimes it takes a women to have a sex a few times before hers will break. so don't worry about it, doctors do this all the time.
