Cervical Screening Clinic – Comprehensive Cervical Health Care for Grandview Patients

 

Please note, our cervical screening is available exclusively to Grandview patients. Cervical screening is a vital part of women’s health and early detection of disease. Clinical guidelines recommend that female patients have cervical screening every five years. Certain situations may require more frequent testing, including:

  • A history of abnormal Pap smears, abnormal HPV testing
  • Testing positive for HPV (human papillomavirus)
  • Experiencing symptoms such as unexplained bleeding, pelvic pain, or unusual discharge

 

The Importance Cervical Screening
Cervical screening is a simple yet powerful tool that can detect early changes in cervical cells. These changes may indicate infections, pre-cancerous cells, or early-stage cervical cancer. Detecting abnormalities early allows for prompt treatment, significantly increasing the chance of preventing cervical cancer. In fact, if all women had regular cervical screening, up to 90% of cervical cancers could be prevented.

Cervical screening is not only crucial for detecting cancer but also help identify infections or other cervical changes that could affect long-term reproductive health. By keeping up with regular screening, you are taking an important step in protecting your health and well-being.

 

What to Expect
During cervical screening, a trained healthcare professional collects a small sample of cells from the cervix. The procedure is quick, generally causes only minor discomfort, and is performed in a private, professional setting. After the test, results are reviewed by your doctor, and any necessary follow-up or treatment is discussed.
