These changes often do not cause any symptoms, so regular screening (every 3 to 5 years according to age) helps spot any warning signs before they have the chance to develop into cancer.
For Cervical Screening Awareness Week, intimate wellbeing brand INTIMINA’s in-house gynaecologist, Dr Susanna Unsworth, has shared her tips for making a screening as comfortable as possible:
Ahead of the test:
It is good to understand what the test is for. Cervical screening is not a test for cancer – it is a test designed to pick up changes that can potentially lead to cancer. These changes can be easily treated to prevent cancer from developing at all, hence why it is so important to attend.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Law & Order” fans, you have Rob Lowe to thank for the entire franchise. As does Dick Wolf’s bank account. At least, Lowe says with his tongue a bit in cheek (but also with some accuracy). As the star of Fox’s “9-1-1: Lone Star” and Netflix’s “Unstable” recently told Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast, Lowe starred in Wolf’s 1988 feature flop “Masquerade.” It was just the kind of movie disappointment that would have sent Wolf back to TV — and two years later, “Law & Order” premiered. “I remember him saying to me how frustrated he was in the movie business, that he was going to write a pilot,” Lowe said. “And he wrote ‘Law and Order.’ And the rest is history.
