Cervical Screening Tests
Cervical screening tests (also known as pap smears), detect the HPV virus in the cervix.
Cervical screening tests (also known as pap smears), detect the HPV virus in the cervix.
When the cervix is infected with HPV, it is possible for cervical cancer to develop. This is preventable, and that’s why it’s important for anyone with a cervix aged 25-74 to have a cervical screening test every 5 years.
The test involves taking a swab of the cervix through the vagina, which will then be tested for HPV. The swab can be taken by yourself or by one of our Doctors. If you have questions about this procedure, please give us a call.
If you wish to have a Doctor visit you outside our business hours, please contact WADMS on 9321 9133.
