Pap smear and cervical cancer prevention
The Pap smear, and depending on age the HPV test, detects changes in the cells of the cervix before they cause problems. The type of test and how often it is done depend on your age and history, and your gynecologist sets them individually.
Colposcopy
If a Pap smear shows abnormalities, colposcopy lets the cervix be examined under magnification so the next steps can be decided.
Breast health
Breast examination is part of the check-up and helps assess whether further tests are needed.
Common reasons for consultation
Painful or irregular periods, discharge or discomfort, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome or fibroids are among the most common reasons for consultation.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I see a gynecologist?
As a general guideline, one check-up a year. Your gynecologist may space them out or bring them forward depending on your age, symptoms and history.
Does a Pap smear hurt?
It is a quick test that can cause mild discomfort, but it should not be painful. If you feel discomfort, say so and the examination will be adjusted.
How do I prepare for the visit?
Usually you should avoid sexual intercourse and vaginal products for 48 hours beforehand and not have a Pap smear during your period. Confirm the instructions with the clinic when you book.
