Regarding the difficult smear test. Don't suffer anymore. I had this problem for years and dreaded going for mine. One kindly nurse at my clinic sent me an appointment at the hospital colposcopy unit. I couldn't believe it when Di, one of the nurses said, " All done! " It took her less than 30 seconds and just one attempt!! See you doctor ot nurse and ask to be recommended to your hospital colposcopy. I hope this jelps and reassures you that you needn't suffer anymore. xx
