This is a simple painless test to detect cells on the neck of the womb which are treatable if dealt with early, but may turn into cancer cells if left untreated.

The smear test is usually done by one of our nurses.

All sexually active women are recommended to have a test every 3 - 5 years (depending on age) from 25 years of age until aged 65.

Most women who have had a hysterectomy do not need routine smears. However please contact the nurse on an individual basis with enquiries.
