Mammograms for over 50's maybe, there's a scheme for that here like cervical screening. I know my mom uses it but I don't how big the uptake for it is really, you hear less about it

My Aunt had breast cancer and she would regularly check herself but it was in the shower that she felt the lump and she said the lump disappeared at times when she tried to find it again thankfully she is 5 years post treatment now and off all meds

Yeah she did but she's not the type who would be scared off easily, she's always been very thorough with her health and wouldn't let embarrassment or discomfort stop her getting treatments or tests done. I'd imagine it could scare some people off though. It's every 2 years I think

It could be argued that it's different in this case than if the genders were reversed and it was girls talking about checking testicles because testicles are genitalia, and a girl going "down there" wouldn't be funny for any sense of humour - just like no-one could find the video funny in the o/p if they were talking about giving smear tests. |

I have seen a video it doesn't look as bad as smear though, that is the absolute worst but still go through it every few year.

The nurse that does it at our surgery does an internal first, as she says she needs to know where she is going..hello you are not on the M5
shine a light up there maybe!

2 years overdue on my smear, as the nurse they always give me is a ****ing butcher. Leaves me bleeding and sore for DAYS afterwards and tells me to 'man up' (seriously! )
The only tolerable smear I ever had was done by a male doctor. But I feel a bit iffy asking for a man specifically. In my experience though, men are better at female intimate exams, maybe as they worry about hurting us because they..well dont have the equipment themselves? I have found female staff to be very 'oh its nothing, dont be silly'..possibly because THEIRS is nothing, so they assume thats universal or something? Obviously that wont go for all male/female HCPs. Just my experience.

Our surgery seems to have designated the one butcher all smears. But our surgery is pretty crap anyway, I am sure you know from my many rants about them!

Agree
Especially now with stand up to Cancer raising money and awareness of how it's just 1 in 2 of us that will get cancer , it's a horrible disease that affects most people. |

correct it should be uncomfortable but not hurt you, I have had a male doctor do it with a nurse present, and a female doctor and all were miles better than the nurse with her road map

Mammograms are fine, like, it's a tiny bit uncomfortable but honestly it feels worse when my cat walks on my boob. I didn't find having a smear test that bad either but I trust my GP and she was the one who did it, so I guess it could definitely be uncomfortable if you didn't feel like you were in a good environment.

At least the unfunny original post spurred a productive and educational conversation,
