After my cousin in Birmingham had abnormal test results, I got curious about this whole screening thing. I wanted to know the risks and if it’s painful or not. So I ended up reading through https://www.jostrust.org.uk/information/cervical-screening/cervical-screening-risks-cost/ and it helped break things down. They tell you what to expect, what’s common, and when it's free in the UK NHS system. Felt less nervous after reading it all.
