Maya Jama reveals she’s having tests at doctors after smear test scare as she sends warning to fans
MAYA Jama has shared a health update after being told by doctors she had to receive more tests following a smear test.
The Love Island presenter sent a warning out to fans to get checked, as she admitting to feeling “very nervous” over the trip.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Maya shared a snap of her feet as she sat in the waiting room at the doctors.
She explained: “At the drs now as a follow up from my smear test the other day.
“I have to get those cells burned off, feeling nervous but this is why smears are so important!”
In the next picture, she explained that the cells actually didn’t have to be burned off in the end, but she did have to undergo more tests.
Sharing a mirror selfie from the bathroom following the appointment, Maya said: “So turns out I didn’t need the cells burned off but a mini biopsy to monitor the cells further.
“Again reminder to go in if you are putting it off.”
Cells are removed or “burned off” to stop them from developing into cervical cancer in the future.
Smear tests can determine whether any abnormal cells are present and whether this needs to be done.
The medical trip came as Maya had just touched down back home after a quick trip to Ibiza, with the star sharing that it was a “fun 24h” before returning home.
Before that, she spent a romantic few days in Italy with boyfriend Ruben Dias.
Maya shared an Instagram photo dump of the break to Rome, which included visits to the Sistine Chapel and the classical Vatican Gardens with with her Man City star boyfriend.
And she gushed about the trip to her three million fans, writing: “Can you tell I love it here?”
