sadly im one of these people who isnt bothered by needles / check up, sorry i dont mean to be like that
Well .... I will urge all females to go and get theirs done! I know it's an undignified procedure but it saves so many lives ~ for 10 minutes discomfort.
I've had the Colposcopy done today and had abnormal cells found and so the biopsies have been done ... I'm concerned but not overly worried as I personally think it's scar tissue from having my children (but then what do i know).
If you haven't had a smear in the last 4 years ... book in with the nurse to get one done.
It's one of the best things you can do to protect yourself ....

I think that my problem with it stems back to when I had my first thorough check as a very scared and alone 14 yr old.. The doc then was really sleazy and really upset me... and my current doc reminds me of him. Might have to change surgeries before I have to go.
Slight change of subject but sort of along the same lines.....
I need to go and get myself checked over for STD's (not that I think I've got anything but it's always best to be careful) and I was wondering exactly how it's done....is it a blood test or an internal?
was in a+e early am. lost use of my left hand temporarily. you can't rely on nhs in my area. told them i am all alone and they let me go without advice on where to/how to seek support. all alone now, run out of food. life sucks when you are on y our own and nobody cares. not too relevant with smear tests but pain is clouding my mind. back to victorian times for me. :cry:
