Regular cervical screening is one of the most effective ways to protect your long-term gynaecological health. At Harley Street Gynaecology, we provide private smear tests in London performed by experienced women's health specialists in a discreet and comfortable clinical environment.
Whether you are due for routine cervical screening, have missed your NHS appointment, want faster results, or have concerns about HPV or previous abnormal smear results, our team offers prompt access to expert care without long waiting times.
What Happens During a Smear Test?
A smear test usually takes only a few minutes. During your appointment:
- You will have an opportunity to discuss any concerns with your specialist.
- A speculum is gently inserted into the vagina to allow visualisation of the cervix.
- A soft brush is used to collect a small sample of cervical cells.
- The sample is sent for HPV testing and laboratory analysis.
Most women find the procedure straightforward. Some experience mild discomfort, but it should not be painful. Our experienced clinicians prioritise your comfort and dignity throughout the appointment.
HPV Testing and Cervical Screening
Current cervical screening focuses primarily on identifying high-risk HPV strains associated with cervical cancer. If HPV is detected, the laboratory may perform further analysis to determine whether abnormal cervical cell changes are present.
At Harley Street Gynaecology, we provide expert guidance on:
- HPV-positive results
- Cervical dyskaryosis
- Repeat screening
- Colposcopy assessment
- Ongoing cervical health monitoring
What If My Smear Test Is Abnormal?
An abnormal result does not mean you have cervical cancer. In many cases, abnormal cells are mild and can resolve naturally. However, further assessment may be recommended.
As a specialist gynaecology clinic, we offer seamless access to:
- Colposcopy
- Cervical biopsies
- HPV management
- Follow-up cervical screening
- Consultant-led treatment planning (including scarless hysterectomy)
