Health Services FAQ

Do smear tests hurt?

No. While a smear test can feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, this service generally does not hurt. Here at Dr. Sahar’s Women’s Health & Family Planning Clinic we aim to make all of our clients feel as comfortable as possible beforehand to avoid any discomfort or distress before your smear test.

How do I book a free smear test?

If you have received a letter from the HSE informing you that you are due a free smear test, simply call our Newbridge or Portlaoise women’s health clinics and book in. You can also book a private smear test if you require a smear out of the timeframe.

What happens during a breast exam?

During a breast check, a member of our medical team will conduct a visual and tactile check of the breasts to detect any lumps or abnormalities. If any abnormalities are detected, we will refer you to have a mammogram (breast X-Ray) to get a more in-depth look of the breast tissue.
