The Malaysian Government is proposing free HPV vaccine in the 2012 Budget for all women. Maybe wait for that to be implemented. As for the cost of a pap smear, I’m not sure as every hospital or clinic will have different prices.

Why do women even bother to have pap smears? Do you know that doctors get paid very large incentives to herd as many of us as they can to get the smear? Do you know that women under 30 SHOULD NOT have pap smears? Do you know the risks associated with smears because of the false positives and negatives? Do you know the risks associated with uneeded biopsies and other procedures? Have you ever wondered why smears are so aggresively forced upon us? Do you know how MINUTE the incidence of cervical cancer actually is? Do you know it is AGAINST THE LAW for your doctor to withold birth control or other medication just because you don’t want to have a smear? That is a reportable OFFENCE. Have you ever wondered why lung cancer, bowel cancer etc that are very very COMMON are not aggresively screened like pap smears? Why is that? Have you ever heard of lots of people getting actual cervical CANCER? Not “pre cancer” or “abnormal cells” but CANCER? If you have, I bet it’s not many. How many people do you know, or know of, that have had bowel/breast/lung & other cancers? Did you know that the W.H.O actually recommends that women under 30 NOT be tested? Did you know that women who have had non cancer related hysterectomies DO NOT NEED TO BE TESTED? If your doctor tries to force you to have a smear to get birth control or other medication, ask them these questions, then calmly state that you do not wish to have the smear, and ask if they are witholding your prescription because you don’t want the smear. Tell them that you are going to report them. Your doctor will back off straight away, because the things I have just said are true. Start doing some research, go to reputable medical sites and you will be HORRIFIED to find out these things. Have you noticed that men are not hounded/coerced/forced to have anal or penile examinations, yet penile and anal cancer are more common than cervical cancer. Doctors respect mens wishes and treat them like adults. Read through a brochure aimed at men. It tells them all the risks, as well as all the benefits of having invasive procedures. Doctors don’t threaten to withold medication from men if they CHOOSE not to have a procedure done. The doctor will just accept that a man can make up his own mind about what he does or does not want to have done, end of story. It’s about time doctors started treating us like women and not vaginas on legs. Wake up and stand up for your rights.
