Cervical Screening involves a simple test to check for human papillomavirus (HPV) – a common infection that causes almost all cervical cancers – before it has the chance to develop into abnormal or cancerous cells. There are two options for having a Cervical Screening Test. One option is to have a healthcare provider collect your sample from your cervix. The other option is to collect your own sample from your vagina. We offer the Self-Collection method as an option at the Well Women's Centre. Make an appointment with our nurse below - Early detection could save your life!
Self-collection is not appropriate if you require a co-test including (but not limited to) because you:
• are symptomatic or experiencing unusual vaginal bleeding, pain or discharge
• have had a total hysterectomy with a past history of HSIL
• have been exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero
If you’re unsure, please contact us on 9140 1124 to speak with our nurse.
