Thousands of women admit to skipping their smear tests, so what's with the smear fear?
Uptake for the tests is at it’s lowest rate ever with a quarter of a million women aged 25 to 29 not attending their smear test in England last year. New research by Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust reveal that over half (51%) of the women surveyed reported delaying or not attending smear tests with almost one quarter (24%) admitting they have delayed for over one year and almost one in ten having never attended the test. This is in spite of the fact that 1,000 British women die of cervical cancer every year. Reasons for the lack of uptake include embarrassment, with 27% admitting to feeling too embarrassed to attend the appointment, while almost three quarters (72%) of women confessing to feeling uncomfortable taking off their clothes in front of a stranger, lack of flexible appointments also play a role with many women reluctant to take time off work.
