Today, I’ve got my smear test, I don’t like them, like everyone else, however the importance far outweighs not having it done. If caught early enough cervical cancer can be cured. If it’s not the effects are devastating to the person and to the family and friends.
It’s a quick process, and a tad uncomfortable, but only slightly. You lay on the bed with knees up and dropped to your sides. The nurse or doctor then gentle inserts a speculum to open your cervix, this can be a bit cold, she will then using a type of brush (not like a hairbrush or dishwashing brush) but a small very light and flimsy brush, I guess in size like a eyebrow brush but far softer and will insert that and quickly brush the inside of your cervix, this will give the laboratory the cells needed to check for cancer.
You will feel like you got a period pain and may bleed very slightly. This will stop within minutes to a few hours. Nothing compared to wear happens if you don’t have it and get cancer.
You can then enjoy your day as normal.
Book it now if you haven’t had one in 3 years.
