Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about screening & prevention
Q:How often should I have a cervical screening?
NHS guidelines recommend screening every 3 years for women aged 25-49, and every 5 years for those aged 50-64. However, you may need more frequent screening if you've had previous abnormal results or are at higher risk.
Q:Is cervical screening painful?
Most women find cervical screening uncomfortable rather than painful. Our experienced nurses use gentle techniques and can offer smaller speculums if needed. Taking slow deep breaths and relaxing your muscles can help. Tell us if you're anxious - we can take extra time.
Q:Can I have the HPV vaccine if I'm over 26?
Yes! While the NHS program targets younger people, the vaccine is effective and safe at any age. If you're sexually active, the vaccine may still provide protection against HPV types you haven't been exposed to.
Q:What happens if my smear test is abnormal?
Most abnormal smears show minor changes that will resolve on their own. If treatment is needed, we'll arrange colposcopy where we examine your cervix with magnification. Many changes can be treated in the same visit with local anesthetic. We'll support you throughout the process.
