    I would like to echo Mercies comments,
    a couple of days of being uncomfortable is better than potentially spreading a disease and for your own peace of mind.
    you'll be grand in a few days

    They take a Q-tip and jam it up your jap's eye. They then have a sniff of the blood on the cotton bud. If it smells cheesy you're okay. If it smells fishy... bad news.

    No, the virus accumulates in the urethra, samples of semen are higher in concentration of the virus than the blood, it also can hide out in the brain. So either brain or urethra, easy choice.

    Just give to a few days, if it doesn't subside, go to the doctor. It shouldn't be a reason not to get the tests done again at some stage if nessecary.

    Only lasted about half a day for me. as per above, go back again if it still hurts after a few days.

    From what I've heard it still sounds a lot less painful than the smear test women go through...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Had a smear and the whole shibang done a few weeks ago...was very surprised that it didn't hurt(after everything you hear about it!) - the worst part was getting over the embarassment of having the doctor looking at me down there and the personal questions at the start. (btw the doctor was being really nice)
    Great news is nothing showed up!

    Really? An ex of mine made it sound like a torture session!

    :confused:
    getting a smear test done is not a torture session, and if you relax, no problem at all

    if she thinks that was bad, I advise her never to have a baby!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    I'd pass the advice on but I haven't seen her in years...

    Back on topic, the only time I ever got checked, they just took blood samples from me... What would require the swab?

    I had pain for about a week.

    Yes, it's slightly worrying, but it does go away. Trust me!

    :D

    I had this done , it was fine

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    its not a big deal, the swap prolly caused some distenstion or maybe a small scratch, 3 days max to heal. :)
