cervical smear
Hello,
I need to know, as no nurse ever told me, if I need NOT to have intercourse before having a cervical smear done. Also, would having intercourse 24h before the smear affect in any how the result of the smear? Thank you.
Kind regards,
Anda

Hello
Do not have intercourse 24 hours before a smear test as spermicidal gel and lubricants may make it difficult to get a good sample of cells from the cervix
