Abnormal Cervical Smears and Colposcopy
Women between the ages of 25 and 50 are offered smears at intervals of 3 years. Between 50 and 65 smears are offered at 5 yearly intervals. Smears are designed to find abnormal cells on the cervix (known as pre-cancer cells, dyskaryotic cells or CIN). By detecting pre-cancer cells and treating them if necessary, the development of cervical cancer in the future can be avoided. It usually takes many years for pre-cancer to develop into cancer. If pre-cancer cells are found on a smear, a recommendation may be made to perform a colposcopy.

Contraception
Contraception is an ongoing issue for many women throughout their lives until they reach the menopause. There are many choices and women should expect to receive expert advice from their health professional. This can be in the Family Planning Clinic or GP’s surgery as well as from a gynaecologist.
