This section gives information to help you understand how cervical screening is done, and what happens if you have an 'abnormal' test result. We hope that it answers some of the questions you may have about cervical screening, and the treatment you may need if you have an abnormal test result.
Cancerbackup has further information on cervical cancer, which is for women who have been diagnosed as having cancer of the cervix.
Detailed information about the UK cervical screening programme is in our health professional section.
