Brief Answer:
Needs to be evaluated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Mostly PAP smear will only cause a mild discomfort that is gone within a day or two. Since you are getting a swelling, it could be infection or maybe fluid in peritoneal cavity. It needs further evaluation by a gynecologist to figure out the cause.
