What to expect at your visit
A pap smear is a short procedure in which a small sample of cells is collected from the cervix. Julie explains each step before she begins and works at your pace. Your results are shared with you as soon as they are back.
Frequently asked questions
Does a pap smear hurt?
Most women find it briefly uncomfortable rather than painful. Tell Julie if you are anxious, and she will talk you through it.
How often should I have a pap smear?
This depends on your age, your history and your previous results. Julie will advise the interval that applies to you.
Can I have a pap smear during my period?
It is usually better to book for a day when you are not bleeding heavily. If you are unsure, send a WhatsApp before your appointment.
