Pap Smear/Strange Period!!

Hello everyone I am a 27 year old female not sexually active. I have standards and will have sex when and if I ever get married and only with my husband. How important is it for me to get pap smear and woman test? My old Dr. use to say I needed to get a pap smear and a mammogram that it was easier to prevent dieases then it was to treat them, my new Dr. hadn't mention it and I didn't mention it to him that I hadn't had one but yesterday when I was there he took me a side and said that I should really think about getting one I am a little freaked out about the thought of getting one, there is a female Dr. there to and he said I could have her do it but I am not sure that I would feel anymore confortable with a woman doing it than my guy Dr. Any comments on what I should do/ experiences from your 1st pap smear? My period has also been out of whack for a few months could this be a sign that something is wrong? My period use to always start the 17 and last until like the 21st but then it started getting earlier and earlier where now this month it started on the 6th and ended the 9th. In January it started the 9th and ended like the 12th. Any suggestions?

You should still get a yearly pap smear, even though you are not sexually active. In rare instances, and for unexplainable reasons, non-sexually active women have been diagnosed with cervical cancer. This by no means, suggests that you personally have cervical cancer, but it's good preventative practice to make sure you stay healthy. It would also be a good takime to talk to your doctor about your irregular cycles. They may be related to a hormonal imbalance, which is treatable.
Hope this helps
