In the third episode of CNA Women's podcast Womankind, hosts Penelope Chan and Hidayah Salamat, and obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Shilla Mariah Yussof, break down Pap smears, Human Papillomavirus tests, mammograms and transvaginal ultrasounds. Why are they important to a woman's health, what does each one entail, and why do women dread them so much that they’ll delay getting them done? More importantly, how can we be less anxious and fearful during the tests?
