Preference between mammogram and pap smear/bimanual

Lady if you had to choose between a Mamogram and pap smear /bimanual , which would you go for ?

I've renamed the thread to give members a clue what is being discussed. The previous title said absolutely nothing.

Pap smear/ bimanual

I'm male but must have Mammogram's, they are embarrassing but the nurses that help me made it comfortable. I'm glad my wonderful PCP orders them for me

I would choose Pap/bimanual. I haven't had a mammogram yet but have only heard how much they hurt!

I understand the questioner's curiosity. However, it really is not something one should debate and goodness knows if health insurance laws change, it could well become a coin toss! Do both = live healthy. Now if you're curious about which position I would prefer for a rectal exam, it would be on my back rather than turned onto my side for the DRE! As for a shot, it would be someone else's butt cheek!

I had my first mammogram l last winter and it did not hurt at all. It was a bit awkward, but not painful.
