Hello, I went for a smear test today, I was asked why my last one was in 2014 !! And have not had one since , I explained how painful the last one was, and how vile the nurse who did it was to me, condescending, rude , vile al round, I had never felt pain during a smear before. Todays nurse was very shocked , and asked me to say if it was at any point painful, she used the smallest equipment, but despit two attempts, and being very kind, I was unable to go through with it due to the pain. This was 3 hours ago and I am still sore, she explained what could be done , and I settled for a referral to colposcopy clinic. I'm dreading it, it really should not be this painful.
