Thankfully mine aren’t painful, but they are embarrassing. Having a small GP surgery, and going in regularly for my INR prick tests, I know the nurse and health care assistant really well, so it’s mortifying then having to get my bits out for my smear in front of people who certainly aren’t strangers, and then the next week go in for an INR appointment knowing they’ve seen my most private parts.. I’d much prefer a stranger

I do go for a smear and fortunately I haven’t experienced any trauma of any kind that makes it harder than it already is. It still takes some psychological prep to get through the appointment though. My cervix is quite far back so I know to tell the nurse to get the longer one otherwise I’d have to go through it twice. It’s a really important screening but this kind of language isn’t going to motivate someone who is nervous or anxious for any reason
