Cervical Cancer in the UK?
Posted on Apr 29, 2009 under breast cancer |I know probably a few people have mentioned this but in the UK, the age to have a smear test changed to 25+ in 2003. I'm 18 and think this law is a very stupid idea! There have been a few cases found that some women are under the age of 25 when they die of the cancer. Should they not offer this smear test to girls who are sexually active? I had a baby 5 months ago and whilst i was pregnant my midwife asked me if iv'e had a smear test before? I answered no obviously and she advised after having the baby to have one done, knowing full well i was 18 at the time.
So.. I went to see the doctor, asked for a smear test and she said an out-right NO! How is this fair? I'm worried for crists sakes, whould they not even check to see if i'm okay?
I'm very dissapointed in my own country at the moment. Every other country offers smear tests to under 25 year olds. What do i do? Everywhere i go they will just turn me down. Now and again i have been getting pains after sex and have irregular periods.
I have had a baby and been having sex since the age of 15, i'm at higher risk so should i not be a perfect candidate?
What shall i do. Plus, how long do you reckon people are going to start lying about symptoms just to get a smear test done. I'm seriously thinking about it. Are us teens and young mums and girls who have had sex have the right to know whats going on in our bodies and whether or not we have the chance to live or know if we are going to die?
Thanks for your thoughts x

i thought they had lowered it again? i think its a disgrace, you really need to go to a different doctors surgery or a family planning clinic instead and demand a smear test, NO ONE should be refused a smear unless its for good reason. shouldnt they have done a smear test before you had the baby? i thought they did this?im in scotland and we are automatically invited for a smear at 20. everywhere should be the same.
