Cervical smear after laparoscopy

[Bubble_by]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if there is a specific amount of time you can have a smear test after a laparoscopy? I'm 25 years old and I got my invitation letter this week (I haven't had a smear test before).

I mean I'll not very likely get one now with all the gp surgeries shutting, but for when they open....

I had my first laparoscopy about 2 and a half weeks ago, so I wouldn't quite say I'm there yet, but I'd appreciate anyone's advice/input 💕

I had one about two months after my laparoscopy and it was fine.

I had mine last week- after lap in december. X

I would probably wait a month so all the healing has happened and you have one complete cycle (if you're not on hormones) as this will reset your cervical mucus.

If you're in doubt ring your surgery, but as you said with all the closures probably just focus on your recovery and ring in a few weeks; it doesn't need to be done immediately, just at some point.
