Do you still have to go without sex before a smear? Asked at doctors today and they didn't know.

Lol, well ruined my weekend for no reason. Thought even the spermicide from condoms affected the results.

Ok thanks.

Might not be true, no-one else has been told to abstain.

I was just asking coz i went without this weekend, wasn't too bothered but nurse was off this morning anyway so i didn't get my smear and have to go next week for one, and don't feel like missing out again.

The NHS advice leaflet says:

Can I have sex before the test?

If you use a spermicide, a barrier method of contraception, or a lubricant jelly, you should not use these for 24 hours before the test as the chemicals they contain may affect the test.

Right thankyou, so yeah i will have to abstain again, only for 24 hours though so not too bad.

Don't even trust myself to meet without the intent of sex so that's why i'll go without.

I've learned something because I've never been told this before.

You'd think in 23 years someone would have mentioned it!

Yes you should abstain for 24 hours before hand just as you need to when attending the gum clinic for your regular swab test.

I've never heard this before either. I wonder how many people have had skewed results and had to of been retested because they don't inform people.

Think a few people have learned something today, lol.

While back i had a coil in and got dodgy smear results because of it (needed a biopsy), they might have told me to abstain then in case that was affecting the reults? Not sure now, can't remember when i was told but it stuck in my head.

Never been told either but always abstain 24/48 hours before any medical tests or procedures to do with gynaecology or urology stuff.

Samples can be very easily contaminated and tests affected.
