Simple...If your concerned have a smear test and if your sexual active then defferantly have one.
my doctor told me and this is my oncoligist, semin and cancer cells thrive together and usaly makes the cancer cells hatch.....and thats why women who are more sexual active prone to overian,vaginal,bladder,cervixal cncer.
lucky for me mine wasnt any of the above but lymphnode...just as nasty
so please dont leave it if your worried..a simple test and a few minutes could save your life.

go now, you are supposed to have a smear test as soon as you are sexually active - but no one tells you that! due to the changes in that area because of having sex, as this can cause a change in balance down there. sperm etc effects the levels.
just book an appointment at ur docs (ask for female if you feel more comft) and they will either do it then on that consultation or book you in the next fews day to go back, all you need to do is ask for it.

Yeh, I had my first one at 17 and that i had yet another in September 08. they actually must have given you a smear because the guideline is you're to have one if you're sexually energetic or each 3-4 years once you're 25, whichever is first. you should attempt to regulate medical doctors if conceivable as yours would not look to understand what on earth is going on.

Yes, it's not a problem just ring up and go into your surgery and make an appointment. You can even request to see a female doctor if you would feel more comfortable that way!
If you're sexually active, they often advise you to get checked earlier than 25 anyway.

If you want 1 then I dont see why not. You can go and ask your doctor, or I think you could try and ring the local GUM clinic.

Yes - phone your GP and ask for one. Once you are on the list, you will then be called back every few years!

if you are that worried about it, go to your doctors and ask for one to be done, if not find out what family planning clinics are in your area, and request one throught them! good luck

yes, if you go to the doctors, and ask, they should give you one.
in some areas, they will ask you to go when you are 20.
