Tell the doctor if you have any reactions to anesthetics. No changes necessary. If a general anesthetic is used, you will feel temporary pain when the intravenous solution is started to induce anesthesia. After that, you will not experience pain. You may experience anxiety and discomfort if the test is performed under local anesthesia.
Discomfort disappears when the test is finished.
General or local anesthetic. Sterile specimen container. Jar for cytology smears. Six glass slides. Bag with face mask.
