Smear Test

A smear test, also known as a cervical screening, is a routine health check aimed at women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64. It’s an essential procedure designed to detect abnormal cells on the cervix that could potentially develop into cervical cancer if not identified and treated early. The test is simple, quick, and performed in a private and comfortable setting at our health clinic.

During the appointment, which only takes a few minutes, a small sample of cells is gently collected from the cervix using a soft brush. The procedure is carried out by a trained healthcare professional who will ensure you feel at ease, explaining each step of the process. While some may experience slight discomfort, the test is usually not painful. 

After your sample is collected, it’s sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few weeks, and we’ll ensure you’re informed promptly, guiding you through any next steps if needed.

It’s important to note that the smear test is not a test for cancer but a preventative measure to catch any changes early. Regular screenings are key to maintaining your cervical health, significantly reducing the risk of developing cervical cancer.
