Question: Im 22 and never had a smear!.!.do i arrange it or does the doctor send me a letter when i need one!?!?
Answers:
Your doctor will arrange your smear for you but in the UK the minimum age has been raised to 25 because the medics have said testing women of a younger age tends to produce abnormal results anyway because down there is still developing!. You can request a smear test earlier though if you suspect anything unusual is going on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you definitely need to arrange for it!. a pap smear is a test they use to look for abnormal cervical cells (possibly cancerous cells)
it doesn't hurt just uncomfortable!. i am 22 and i have been getting paps since i was 16 because there is a history of cervical cancer in my family!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
