Emilee

I had underwent this procedure when I was 7 years old. Afterwords, I was no longer the carefree child I once was, I had become anxious, paranoid and timid. These traits have since followed me into adulthood and my trauma haunts me to this day. The trauma has impacted my personal, intimate relationships and I am too terrified to even get a PAP smear and I’m 28 years old. I would never wish this kind of pain on anyone. I wish someone had advocated for me and protected me from this as a child.
