Preventive Care for Women’s Health
Your health needs may change through different stages of life, even when you feel well.
Well-woman screening can help identify potential concerns early and guide decisions about preventive care based on your age, health history and individual risk factors.
Screening & Preventive Care
Screening recommendations differ from one woman to another. Your specialist can advise which checks may be appropriate based on your age, medical history, family history and stage of life.
Screening and preventive care may include:
- Cervical Cancer Screening
- Pap Test
- HPV Test
- HPV Vaccination
- Women’s Preventive Health Assessment
Why Regular Screening Matters
Many health conditions develop quietly in their early stages without obvious symptoms. Regular screening can help identify potential concerns early, allowing for timely follow-up, treatment, or lifestyle changes where appropriate.
Who Should Consider Well-Woman Screening
Well-woman screening may be beneficial for women who are:
- Sexually active
- Planning for pregnancy
- Approaching menopause
- Looking to take a proactive approach to their long-term health
Screening recommendations may vary depending on age, personal medical history, family history, and individual risk factors.
Common Questions
A well-woman screening may include a review of your health history, cervical cancer screening with a Pap test or HPV test, and advice on other preventive checks based on your age and risk factors.
A Pap test checks for abnormal changes in cervical cells, while an HPV test looks for high-risk HPV types that may cause these changes. Your doctor can advise which test is appropriate for you.
Yes. Preventive screening is intended to identify certain health concerns before noticeable symptoms develop. The checks recommended for you will depend on your age, medical history and previous screening results.
If you have symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain or unusual discharge, let the clinic know when booking. Your specialist can assess your symptoms and advise whether screening, further tests or a separate gynaecology review may be appropriate.
