Maybe next time mention that it was extremely painful last time and they might be extra careful, or use more lube thats what she did with me (I was covered with the stuff). Its definatly worth asking for a different doctor too because they might be more gentle. They say it will be uncomfortable but definatly not excrutiating so make sure you let them know that you had trouble
ETA: the woman who did mine was lovely and we had a nice chat about the weather while she had her hand up my fangina
Just a note to say that at a smear test all they do is send off your cells from the cervix to look for abnormal cells, they don't test for STDs. If you wanted to check your sexual health, you will also need to book in for STD tests. They are a similar procedure and the staff should make you feel comfortable, just mention that you were in pain for your smear and they will ease you through it.
the second time i went back still hurts but not as much
only like being pinchd or somthing not major pain lol and doesnt last very long
