Cervical Screening - My Way - How to make cervical screening (a smear test) work for you
How is cervical screening done?
According to information on the NHS website, a nurse or doctor will use a soft brush to collect a small sample of cells from your cervix. The sample is checked for human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause changes to the cells of your cervix. The process is quick; it usually takes about five minutes. Check out this NHS video showing someone having a cervical screening.
Your cervical screening results are usually sent to you in a letter. Your nurse or doctor will tell you when you can expect your results.
