Why Regular Cervical Screening is Essential for Women’s Health

November 28, 2024

Introduction
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet many women delay or skip routine cervical screening. At The Village GP Black Rock, we’re committed to promoting women’s health in Black Rock, Beaumaris, Sandringham, and Cheltenham. Our experienced female doctors provide a supportive environment for all your health needs.

Why is Cervical Screening Important?
Cervical screening helps detect abnormal cells in the cervix before they turn into cancer. This simple test is essential for preventing cervical cancer and maintaining overall health. Our women’s health clinic offers comprehensive screening services led by skilled female GPs.

Who Should Get Screened?

Women aged 25–74 should have a Cervical Screening Test (CST) every five years.
Women in Cheltenham, Sandringham, and surrounding areas are encouraged to schedule regular appointments at our clinic.

How to Prepare for a Cervical Screening Test

Timing: Schedule the test mid-cycle for the most accurate results.
Relaxation: Deep breathing can ease any anxiety during the procedure.
Discuss Concerns: Share any questions or worries with your female GP to ensure a positive experience.

The Role of HPV Vaccination
The HPV vaccine is highly effective at preventing cervical cancer, yet vaccinated women still need regular screenings. If you’re unsure about your vaccination status, our female doctors can guide you.
