Smear Test
Understanding the Smear Test Procedure
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.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
During the appointment, which takes only a few minutes, a trained healthcare professional gently collects a small sample of cells from the cervix using a soft brush. The professional explains each step to help you feel at ease throughout the process. While some people feel slight discomfort, most find the test quick and not painful.
Receiving Your Results and Next Steps
After the healthcare professional collects your sample, our team sends it to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory usually provides results within a few weeks. We inform you promptly and guide you through any next steps if needed.
Cervical Screening: A Preventative Measure for Health
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.
