Cervical Cancer
Cervical Cancer Screening
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and curable forms of cancer. All women who have ever had sex need to have a pap smear, inlcuding those who no longer have sex. Women should have their first pap smear between the age of 18 - 20 years or a year or two after first having sex, (whichever is later) and continue having them throughout their life until the age of 70 years.
Please go to the following link for some more information or see a health professional:
Cervical Cancer Screening.
By clicking on the link "National Cervical Screening Program", you can obtain very informative information on:
- what a pap smear is
- how to enrol yourself on the pap smear register which is a great initiative, considering we are always too busy to worry about our own health and can often not remember the last time we visitied a doctor about our pap smear. The register ensures we take the time to have our pap smear done every two years.
