Hi, I am currently 18 years old and I would really like peoples thoughts and opinions on this, I have been dealing with period issues for 3 years now I have always been heavy and always been on the pill since starting my periods, I was constantly at the GP for over 2 years, constant internal examinations and was advised to get a smear test when I reached the age of 25, I have been to see a gynaecologist and was told that I had a slight cervical ectropian, this was then left and I was told I was fine. I then went back to the GP’s and they told me I had endometriosis, I am still having problems 3 years later from starting periods, and have been told I have cells on my cervix but I am too young to have a smear test on the NHS, my mother had cervical cancer at a young age, my symptoms persist of pain during sex, bleeding constantly (even when on the depo injection) lower abdomen pain, lower back pain, and a lot of discharge, 

does anyone have any opinion on this?

Is it worth me paying privately for a smear test? 

I have an an appointment to see colposcopy in April, but feel as though I should pay privately?
