Genital examinations are also something women endure, whether it be for contraception, sexual health or as part of gynaecological investigations or fertility treatment. Having a smear every 3 years is an important part of keeping healthy as a woman.

Do you hate smear tests or having your genitals examined? Sometimes Health Practitioners forget how invasive and intimate these examinations can be for a woman. If you have had a negative or painful experience during a genital examination it can, understandably, affect going for regular check ups or having infertility treatment.

If, for what ever reason, you struggle with genital examinations or smears, I offer treatment and counselling to help you become more comfortable with them.
