At the first club I ever worked, the first friend I made was a girl from Somalia, her name was PJ. I think it is rather uncommon to meet a girl from an African country who is a dancer, there are plenty of black girls but I haven't encountered any others from Africa at any other club I've been at. Anyhow, PJ was great - friendly, sweet and very pretty. We became friends. She danced while going to dental school.
So I went to Planned Parenthood once for a check up and they gave me a pap smear.
Girls know what that is, I am not going to go into the details about it for the guys reading this. It's basically a screening for cervical cancer. It's important to check because early treatment is always better if you do have cancer.
So, the test results came back and a rep from Planned Parenthood called me, saying that my test result came back abnormal and that I needed to go to some clinic in LA for a possible biopsy. They were basically going to cut a piece of my insides out.
I almost fainted when I heard this. That's all I could think of....somebody cutting into me.
So I told this to PJ when I saw her at work, almost in tears, super nervous thinking that I now had cancer and that I was going to die.
Well, PJ told me not to worry. She told me how to clean my insides myself, with one finger. This had been passed on to her from her relatives, I'm guessing her Mom (?),
I can't remember all the details. She told me she would do this herself once a month
a few days after her period ended. She instructed me to clean myself like that the evening before my appointment and she said she could almost promise me that I would be fine.
So I did and went to my appointment. The doctor looked inside of me with some kind of magnifying glass, that is called colposcopy and said that everything looked fine and that I didn't need a biopsy.
A biopsy can be rather painful and bloody. Many girls and women get back abnormal pap smears results. It can actually be something serious or it can also be the result of a slight imbalance in the VAGINE the day the pap smear was done.
I was so happy and relived when I left that clinic, I really didn't want to have a biopsy, it sounded so scary to me.
So how do you perform this self administered cleaning? After you take a bath or shower, squat, relax, insert the longest finger you have (usually the middle finger) inside your VAGINE. I recommend that you do not have long nails. You will feel your cervix, smooth and egg shaped. Gently push the finger against your cervix and trace it from one end to the other, half circle.
Take the finger out. There might be some slimy stuff on your finger, discharge or mucousy stuff. I do this three to five times. Done! And I do this once a month about two to three days after the last day of my period. NO douching with vinegar water or perfumed water, NO spraying any perfumed VAGINE deodorants down there. Ever.
This "cleansing" technique works for me. It might not work for you. I am not a doctor, all I am doing is passing along what PJ taught me......
Happy cleaning!
