A member asked:
When we take a cervical swab sample ourselves for std test, do we have to take a sample around 2 inches deep or is it ok to go deep until the very back of the cervix area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually ther is a mark on the swab-stick indicating the depth it has to go in. Pl follow that.
