Smear test services we offer

Routine smear tests are a crucial aspect of women’s healthcare, and opting for private testing offers several advantages: you can schedule your appointment at your convenience, receive test results within 48 to 72 hours, and benefit from a screening for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

At our clinics, smear tests are available with a doctor, and you have the option to request a female doctor if you prefer.  Additionally, we ensure immediate gynaecological referral arrangements if further consultation is necessary.

Cervical Smear Statistics

In 2008, over half a million women worldwide were diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Approximately 75% of these diagnosed women survived the disease, with higher survival rates observed among those diagnosed at a younger age, with women under 40 years old had survival rates exceeding 85%.

In the UK alone, 960 women succumbed to cervical cancer in that year. Globally, cervical cancer accounts for nearly 1 in 10 female cancer-related deaths

The Procedure

preparing for appointment

Pre-Appointment

It is generally advisable to avoid scheduling your cervical smear test during your menstrual period, as menstrual blood can sometimes interfere with the sample collection, making it more challenging to obtain clear and accurate results from the test. Not to mention, having a smear test during your period may not be as comfortable as at other times in your menstrual cycle.

during the appointment

Appointment

During a smear test, a doctor typically performs a quick procedure where a speculum is gently inserted into the vagina to enable clear visibility of the cervix. Using a soft swab, they collect a sample of cells from the cervix. While the procedure may cause some discomfort, it is generally not painful. Ensuring a comfortable environment and clear communication with your healthcare provider can help ease any discomfort experienced during the test.

post appointment

Post-Appointment

Once your smear test results have arrived, our doctor will contact you directly to discuss them. During this conversation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and agree on any necessary follow-up actions based on the results. After you have spoken with the doctor, you will receive a detailed summary of your results via email.

Does it hurt to have a smear test?
The test causes some discomfort, and in some cases some mild, short-term pain may occur. It is a very common procedure and can be completed quickly. If you do feel any pain, please inform your practitioner, who may be able to use a smaller speculum. If you are especially nervous or stressed about having a smear test, do not hesitate to tell the practitioner, who will take extra care to explain the process and make sure you are comfortable.
What is cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer is a disease affecting the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, where it opens into the vagina. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells develop on the cervix and begin to grow more rapidly than the body can clear them.
Who is most at risk of developing cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer is most common for women aged between 25 and 49 and it is the third most common gynaecological cancer. Around 2,830 cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed in the UK in 2007, which is 55 women every week.
