    Just had a really positive experience today after a really terrible experience a few years ago… last time I had one it was painful and I couldn’t tolerate it. Today I cried in the waiting room with nerves. The nurse asked if there was anything she could do to make it easier - I asked the nurse if I could insert the speculum myself. She then opened it up which felt stretchy but not painful. I asked her to count down from 5 as she twiddled the brush too so I knew when it was going to end… I asked “is that it??” when she was done as it was so much better than what I’ve had previously. I felt the brush but it wasn’t painful at all. If you’re nervous communicate this to your nurse and hopefully it will help.

    Got my first smear tomorrow. Really nervous about it but I want it done and keep thinking once it's over with I will treat myself to something nice. Seeing this visually and explaining really helps so thank you.

      My last one was 10 yrs ago.
      So traumatized by it.
      Just looking at that dam speculum causes me nightmares.
      They need to ditch that thing, it is too painful.

      @@RatchetFanGirl27 I've had it done under General Anesthetic but it depends on where you are in the country. If you ask, they may be able to sedate you with something less strong. I literally just got home from having my first ever smear test where I was awake and I finally managed, but I also had the option of gas if I needed it, and knowing that calmed me down a lot. Please ask! And don't listen to the idiots above who think that everyone experiences the same level of pain and anxiety.

    I got invitation from gp for cervical scan. Went in and was traumatized because I felt the skin of cervix being scrapped off. I was bleeding. There was blood on underwear when I came home. I was relaxed but seems like very inexperienced Eastern European nurse 💔
