When is your smear screening test due?

Cervical screening checks the health of your cervix
Reports show that number of women with an overdue smear test is rising. This number is alarming as it shows that an increasing number of women are giving up their opportunities to help prevent cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer affects mainly sexually active women between 30 and 45 years. Early detection is vital.

Regular screening can identify changes in the cervix and treat them before developing into a serious health condition. The recommendation to repeat your smear screening every 3 to 5 years reflects medical as well as economic perspectives. To have your test done regularly according to your history and HPV status talk to one of our doctors.

As a part of our smear screening, we test for HPV (human papillomavirus). The human papillomavirus refers to a group of over 100 viruses that affect your body’s moist membranes. The result of our test will indicate the presence of high-risk subtypes, which changes screening recommendations.
