Treatment
Cervical Screening
What Is Cervical Screening?
Cervical screening, is a routine non-invasive procedure to check for abnormal cells within the cervix that may develop into cancer. It's an essential part of preventative women's health care in Australia. It’s recommended for women aged 25 to 74.
How Does
Cervical Screening Work?
During a Cervical Screening Test, a healthcare professional collects cells from the cervix using a special brush. The cells are then examined under a microscope to look for any abnormalities that might indicate a risk for cervical cancer.
What Can I Expect During The Treatment?
During the Treatment
The procedure is usually quick and can be done during a regular check-up. A small brush is used to gently collect cells, and you may feel a slight discomfort.
After the Treatment
You can carry on with your normal daily activities.
Following Weeks
The results are typically available within a week or two, and your healthcare provider will discuss any necessary follow-up.
How Much Does A Cervical Screening Test Cost?
In many cases, Cervical Screening Tests are bulk billed in Australia, with no out-of-pocket costs. It's wise to consult with the medical practice to understand any specific costs.
