Not marking this as NSFW because it's about health, but mods please let me know if you think it should be and I will change it.

Health screenings are so important so I don't want to put anyone off them, but has anyone else found them more difficult as you've gotten older?

Just had my cervical screening and it hurt like hell this time. Last couple of times have been fine. Not sure if it was the nurse or if I'm just more sensitive today or if it's a normal thing to find it more painful. I figure if it is the latter then it's good to be aware.

You should check if self-collects are available in you country, that might make it more comfortable.
