Women's Health GP Services Explained

Cervical Cancer Screening

This test involves taking a small sample of cells from the cervix to be screened for certain strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) that can lead to abnormal cell changes.

While a little uncomfortable, the test is quick and simple, and allows for the detection of the virus which can then be monitored or treated if required.

All women who have ever been sexually active in their lifetime need to have regular cervical cancer screening, even if they are no longer sexually active.

Women are generally screened from the ages of 25 through to age 75.

Breast Check

During a Women’s Health Check, a breast examination is also conducted.

Once women turn 50 years of age, mammogram screening is also arranged at this time.

STI Screening

Sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening can be conducted during the consultation in women who feel that it is relevant to them.

As an STI can occur without the woman experiencing symptoms, screening is offered as part of a women’s health check.

Your doctor may also have a discussion with you regarding safe sex practices should it be relevant with respect to your health management.

Additional Services

Women are also invited to discuss other matters that may be of concern to them. These may include:

  • Contraceptive options
  • Menopause
  • Sleep
  • Mood disorders or symptoms of anxiety and depression
  • Nutrition
  • Exercise
  • Other preventative health measures such as blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes checks.
