Cervical screening plays a crucial role in early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. Regular screening helps identify any abnormal cell changes in the cervix early on, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. When detected early, cervical cancer is highly treatable, with a high chance of cure.
Our Approach to Infertility Care
Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough evaluation of both partners to identify potential causes of infertility. This may include reviewing medical history, conducting physical exams, and performing diagnostic tests such as blood tests, ultrasound, and semen analysis.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on the findings from the evaluation, our fertility specialists develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and goals. Treatment options may include:
Emotional Support: We recognize the emotional toll that infertility can take and offer compassionate support throughout your journey. Our team is here to provide guidance, answer your questions, and offer resources to help you cope with the challenges.
Our Approach to Cervical Screening
Comprehensive Evaluation: During your cervical screening appointment at Athena Women’s Clinic, our healthcare provider will perform a pelvic exam and gently collect cells from your cervix. These cells are then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Guidelines and Recommendations: We follow established guidelines for cervical screening, including frequency and age recommendations, to ensure you receive appropriate and timely screenings based on your individual risk factors and health history.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Testing: In addition to Pap smears, our clinic may offer HPV testing as part of cervical screening. HPV is a common virus that can cause cervical cell changes and is a primary risk factor for cervical cancer.
Who Should Get Cervical Screening?
Women aged 21-65 years: Regular cervical screening is recommended for most women within this age range, regardless of sexual activity or vaccination status.
Women over 65 years: Women over 65 who have had regular screenings with normal results may not need further screening, based on individual risk factors and medical history.
HPV Vaccination: HPV vaccination is recommended for adolescents and young adults to prevent HPV infections that can lead to cervical cancer later in life. However, vaccinated individuals should still follow recommended screening guidelines.
