Oh gosh. If I ahve to go to the Docs anyway then they can do it. They really have seen it all before and I really dont care

I’m happy to have my pap smear with my doctor – don’t like the alternative.

I have no issue with having a pap smear at my doctor’s – the alternative is something I don’t want.

I regularly have a pap smear with a female doctor who visits the surgery once a month.

Happy to have one with my GP as well as all of the other checks. The do it yourself test has to go to the GP anyway. There is nothing awkward about a pap smear – just prevention.

I always keep up-to-date with my pap smears and have no issue with having them. I’m more concerned at the frequency. We’re going from a pap smear every 2 years, to one every 5 years. That seems a little concerning for me.

Seems like a good idea, cheers.

Thank goodness. Anything that improves the pap smear is welcome by me.

Although they are horrible and embarrassing I think it’s better if the Dr does them, to look for other things.

At some Medical Centres the Practise Nurse (Registered Nurse) does them, not the GP

Oh yes, I like the idea of a DIY pap smear very much. Would all Gp’s have these DIY test available ?

I think this would make alot more women get one done as it isnt as embarrassing for them.

Its kind of reassuring that everything gets checked out while the doctor is in there. I hate pap smears but its still necessary.

I don’t mind having a normal one. No need for a DIY.
Actually in January I had the new pap-smear with my GP. Everything went fine so I don’t need to have another one for 5 years, compared to the previous 2. Amazing!

  I have no issue either – it is an excellent opportunity for a complete check up which includes breast examination too.
