Cervical screening

I really don't agree with this change, 3 years there can be changes now they have changed it to every 5 years it maybe too late by then.

Here in the uk thats what it's like.
I think they were trying to lower the age they start.
I am meant to have one soon, I hate it. If they need to do it more often then I would.

@Mellowgirl I'm from the UK and it's currently every 3 years...but to change it to every 5 years is madness.

@Beautywithin Aye,my last smear was 25... Now 31

Beautywithin · 36-40, F

@Mellowgirl Really ? Is that because you've not gone? They remind me every 3 years

@Beautywithin no I'm very much on top of this. Must admit I didn't like the nurse the last time with her inappropriate comment.
I'll tell her off if she does anything like that again!

Beautywithin · 36-40, F

@Mellowgirl Yes i agree I've had some horrible ones, I just request another nurse if that's the case.

@Beautywithin she's the only one at that practice 😱

Beautywithin · 36-40, F

@Mellowgirl That's awful, either way hope it dont put you off I know so many who dont have it because of bad experiences with nurses.
