- W2359480251 abstract "AIM: To evaluate the role of lubricant gel in the cytology of a Pap smear and whether it results in an improvement in the discomfort experienced by women while undergoing Pap smear screening.METHODS: A total of 151 women were analyzed in the study. After screening for inclusion criteria, a Pap smear was taken with no lubricant in all the women and the discomfort experienced was rated on a visual analogue scale. The women underwent a second Pap smear on the next visit using a lubricant gel and were again rated on a visual analogue scale for the discomfort felt. The pathologist was blinded to the fact of whether the lubricating gel was used.RESULTS: The number of unsatisfactory smears in the no gel group was 3 vs 5 in the gel group, P 0.05. However, a significant difference(P = 0.00) was observed in the visual analogue pain score in both groups, suggesting that application of lubricant gel over the speculum improves the pain experienced by women. CONCLUSION: Using a small amount of lubricant overthe speculum does not impair cervical cytology but significantly improves the discomfort experienced by women while undergoing a Pap smear." @default.
