Brief Answer:
take tab meftal spas three times a day

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,

The papsmear is generally a painless procedure. It dosent involve any cutting or biopsy. It's just a smear of the vaginal and cervical secretions. If you did not relax well during the procedure it may have been uncomfortable.

Generally it dosen't pain or hurt after papsmear. As you are not bleeding you can wait for a day. If it is hurting you I would start you on mild painkiller like meftal spas thrice a day. Your local doctor will know about this tablet.

If you have any queries please write back

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Take mild painkiller along with warm compress

Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The pain is not related to papsmear.
You may have noticed around the same time.
Please take a mild pain killer like meftal spas or paracetamol . You may have sprained a muscle.
Warm compress and local application of diclofenac gel also helps.
Thanks.
