A cervical screening checks for HPV (human papillomavirus), the primary cause of cervical cancer. If HPV is found, further testing is done to assess for abnormal cell changes. Early detection allows for monitoring or treatment before anything develops into a serious concern.
Your appointment will last around 15 minutes and will be carried out by a friendly, experienced clinician. The process is straightforward:
1. Consultation & Questions – We’ll explain the procedure, answer any questions, and ensure you’re comfortable.
2. Preparation – You’ll be asked to undress from the waist down in a private area and lie on the examination couch.
3. The Screening – A small, soft speculum is gently inserted into the vagina to allow a clear view of the cervix. A small brush is then used to collect a sample of cells. This takes just a few seconds.
4. Completion & Aftercare – The speculum is removed, and you can get dressed. We’ll explain what happens next and when to expect your results.
Most women experience mild discomfort but not pain. The test is over quickly, and we take care to make it as comfortable as possible. If you feel anxious or have had discomfort during previous screenings, let us know—we’ll take extra steps to help you feel at ease.
Your full results will be sent via PDF within 7–10 working days. If HPV is detected or further testing is needed, we will explain your next steps clearly and support you with any follow-up care.
If any abnormal cells are detected, don’t panic. It does not mean you have cancer—just that further checks may be needed. We will guide you through any follow-up tests or referrals if required.
· Women aged 25–49 should have a smear test every 3 years.
· Women aged 50–64 should have one every 5 years.
If you’ve had HPV or abnormal results before, you may need more frequent testing.
If you are pregnant, it’s best to delay cervical screening until at least 12 weeks after birth. If you have concerns, we can advise on the best timing for your test.
