Expert Cervical Cancer Screening
Empowering women through proactive healthcare is at the heart of what we do, and cervical cancer screening is a cornerstone of this mission. This simple, quick procedure has revolutionized women’s health, dramatically reducing cervical cancer rates and saving countless lives.
At The Menopause Clinic, we see each pap smear as an opportunity—a chance for you to invest in your health, gain peace of mind, and take charge of your well-being. With advancements in medical technology and a deeper understanding of women’s health needs, cervical cancer screening has never been more accessible, comfortable, or important.
We understand that your past experiences with cervical cancer screening may not have been ideal.

Your Screening Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a cervical cancer screening?
The frequency of cervical cancer screenings depends on your age and health history. Generally:
- Ages 21-24: Optional screening, every three years if chosen
- Ages 25-29: Initiate routine screening, every three years
- Ages 30-69: Routine screening, every three years
- Ages 70 and above: Screen if unscreened/under-screened (i.e., not screened regularly at three year intervals). Continue screening until three consecutive negative Pap tests (collected at least one year apart) within 10 years
However, your healthcare provider may recommend a different schedule based on your individual risk factors. The evidence suggests that the benefit is likely greater than harm for ages 25-69, with strong evidence for ages 30-69.
For ages 70 and above, there is less evidence, but it’s biologically plausible that the risk of disease is high/continuing. Screening may reduce morbidity and mortality in this age group.
Is the cervical cancer screening procedure painful?
How long does it take to get the results of my screening?
At The Menopause Clinic, we understand the importance of timely results. Typically, you can expect to receive your cervical cancer screening results within 1-2 weeks. We’ll contact you promptly with any abnormal results and discuss any necessary follow-up steps. If you haven’t heard from us within two weeks, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
What's the difference between a Pap smear and HPV testing?
While both are part of cervical cancer screening, they test for different things:
- Pap smear: Examines cervical cells for abnormal changes that could potentially develop into cancer.
- HPV test: Detects the presence of human papillomavirus, which can cause cell changes leading to cervical cancer.
