I know, and THAT'S why you're an irresponsible, stupid person. Not having smear tests simply because you're too much of a wuss to get your bits out in front of a doctor, is absolutely pathetic.

Burying your head in the sand won't stop abnormal cells forming. As someone who's had someone very close to me have cervical cancer I can say with 100% confidence, you don't even deserve free healthcare. You have the opportunity to potentially save your own life and you piss it away. Just pathetic.

i choose what i do with my body, not you, deal with it

and lol @ not deserving free health care because i wont get a smear :lol:

Give her a break. How can you say with 100% cofidence that she doesn't deserve free health care? I suppose because you're so big and ballsy and supreme it makes you more deserving?

Alot of doctors aren't willing to give regular smears to women under the age of 20 or some stupid age like that, i think it might even be alot older.

Yeah, think it's about 25 at the doctors I go to.

My mum had cervical cancer and was given the all clear in the last year or so. If she hadn't had that smear she would be dead right now.

The choice is yours, though you shouldn't let fear get in the way of your health. It is your choice though at the end of the day.

OP, your discharge should NOT be green, but if it is that light creamy colour snot can often represent then it sounds normal.

Obviously if you are still worried get your GP to have a look, or visit your local GUM clinic.

In countries with private health care, many people go to specialist doctors such as a gynaecologist. In the UK your first point of contact is your GP.

I think people who openly refuse potentially life saving tests for such pathetic reasons as it not being dignified enough for her, don't deserve to be offered them.

I can understand someone of 16 getting all wimpy about getting their bits out in front of a doctor, but someone who's supposedly 28? She should grow the Eff up and realise that smears are there to save lives.

She's an absolute fool. Jade Goody 'put off' having smear tests and look where she ended up.

Anyone who refuses a smear is an absolute fool imo.

No because I don't have to yet, I think you're obligated to go for smears once you hit 25. I just go see the doctor >_>

I totally agree, I can't believe why anyone would willingly deny themselves it.

I hope the rest of the UK follows suit with Scotland in that they reduce the age they begin smear tests. Up here it's at age 20 instead of 25. I turn 20 this year and I'm definitely going, it baffles me why anyone wouldn't, it's just being stubborn. Smear tests are done for a reason.

If anyone's bothered by the actual procedure or showing everything down there to the doctor, who cares, the doctor certainly doesn't so why should you? By the age you're old enough to have a smear, surely something like that wouldn't phase you.

Edit: but other than that, I would just go and see my regular doctor for anything gynae related, if it's something serious though, only then will they refer you to an actual gynaecologist. That's how my doctor's surgery does it.

That's the recomended age - before that there's such low incidence of true abnormalities and a much higher rate of false positives that, across the population, it does more harm than good. But because of a porcine essex non-entity, sixteen year-old girls think they need colposcopy.

I've asked for a smear test on many occasions but they refuse as i am 23, and they will only do it for women over 25.

I've just scheduled my first gyno appointment..... NOT looking forward to it. I live in America and I've always been told girls should begin a yearly appointment at age 18 or whenever you become sexually active, whichever comes first. Been putting this off for far too long and will probably get a lecture :p:

I'm worried I might have a yeast infection- I don't know how I would know

You would probably feel some discomfort (itching or pain) if you had an infection. If you're concerned, best to see your GP.
