Re: Smear Test..
The reasons I’m laughing at you ppl are firstly, that yearly screening isn’t necessary…it has been shown that once in two years is a good enough frequency to screen for cervical cancer.
Secondly, in order to get cervical cancer it is necessary to be infected by a high-risk HPV-virus (low risk HPV gives genital warts). This high risk HPV can be contracted via sexual intercourse: in other words, it is an STD.
And assuming, that the ladies here and their respective hubbies are ‘loyal’ to each other, one would expect the ladies here not to have contracted HPV yet. So I wonder what the value is of all this cervical screening with you ppl, certainly with such a high frequency of every year, unless…
on the other hand, you never know of yourself or your hubby, so having a smear once in 2 to 4 years seems okay
you ppl are funny
