This Cervical Cancer Prevention Week (20-26 January), The Eve Appeal is sharing advice and tips on you can ask for during cervical screening tests.
The charity’s YouGov survey found that one in two women were not aware they could ask the nurse or doctor to stop at any point during their screening. One in four were not aware they could ask for a smaller speculum, and one in 10 were not aware they could book a double appointment or could ask for a different position.
The Eve Appeal is sharing tips like these on our social channels throughout the week.
