Routine gynaecological cancer screening — including Pap smear, HPV testing, and colposcopy — is one of the most effective ways to catch cervical changes before they progress.
A Pap smear is a quick, in-clinic test that samples cells from the cervix to check for abnormalities. If results suggest further evaluation is needed, a colposcopy provides a closer, magnified look.
Screening frequency depends on age, prior results, and individual risk factors, so it is worth discussing a personalized schedule at your visit.
