The Cervical Screening Test is a crucial procedure designed to detect early signs of cervical cancer, emphasising prevention and proactive women’s health. This screening is specifically aimed at identifying the presence of the human papillomavirus (HPV) or cell changes associated with an HPV infection.
Regular CSTs play a pivotal role in monitoring and investigating any potential abnormalities, reducing the risk of cervical cancer through early detection and intervention. It is currently recommended that women between the ages of 25 and 70 undergo a CST every five years if the previous test results are normal.
While HPV vaccinations have been introduced as a preventive measure against certain HPV strains and cervical cancer, it’s important to note that vaccines do not offer protection against all HPV types. Therefore, even if you have received the HPV vaccine, having regular CSTs remains essential for comprehensive cervical health.
The importance of regular screening cannot be overstated, as it serves as a proactive approach to women’s well-being. Routine CSTs, in conjunction with HPV vaccinations, create a robust strategy for cervical cancer prevention. At Skin and Health Medical, we advocate for regular screenings as a fundamental aspect of women’s healthcare, promoting early detection and overall cervical health.
Prioritising breast health is paramount, and at Skin and Health Medical, we emphasise proactive care through comprehensive breast checks. Understanding the significance of early detection, our healthcare professionals guide you through regular breast examinations to monitor for any changes or abnormalities. These checks play a crucial role in identifying potential concerns, providing timely interventions, and promoting breast health awareness.
