Cervical Screening (Pap Smears) at Lancaster Medical Centre: Your Health is Our Priority

Protecting your health with regular cervical screening is crucial

The Cervical Screening Test (CST), also known as a Pap smear, is a vital preventative measure for women aged 25-70. This simple, yet highly effective test has replaced the traditional Pap smear and offers significantly improved accuracy in detecting early signs of cervical cancer. At Lancaster Medical Centre, we’re dedicated to providing comfortable and comprehensive cervical screening services.

Who Needs a Cervical Screening Test?

Women Aged 25-70: All sexually active women within this age group should undergo regular cervical screening, even if you feel healthy.
Women Experiencing Symptoms: If you experience any unusual vaginal bleeding, pain during intercourse, changes in vaginal discharge, or any other concerning symptoms, please consult your doctor immediately, regardless of your screening schedule.

Why is Cervical Screening So Important?

Early Detection Saves Lives

The CST identifies the presence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the primary cause of cervical cancer. Early detection of HPV allows for timely intervention and treatment, significantly increasing the chances of successful outcomes.

Less Frequent Testing

With regular negative results, you only need a CST every 5 years, compared to the previous 2-yearly Pap smear. This makes keeping up with your screening easier and more convenient.

Empowering Your Health

Regular cervical screening empowers you to take proactive control of your reproductive health and provides peace of mind.

What to Expect During Your Cervical Screening Test

The CST is a quick and generally painless procedure performed by a trained healthcare professional at Lancaster Medical Centre. During the test, a small sample of cells is gently collected from your cervix. This sample is then sent to a laboratory for testing for the presence of HPV. Our team is committed to making your experience as comfortable as possible.
