cervical Screening

I had a full hysterectomy ten years ago - do I still need screening?

Re: cervical Screening

If you had a full hysterectomy, the neck of your cervix is usually removed as part of this operation. This would have been tested at the time for any concerning changes - If there were no suspicious changes at that time, you no longer need any further smears.
