Proactive Protection for Your Future
Early detection is the most powerful tool in the fight against gynaecological cancers. Many cancers, particularly cervical cancer, are highly preventable and treatable if caught in their earliest or pre-cancerous stages. At Dr. Smitha's clinic, we provide a comprehensive suite of screening services designed to monitor your health and identify potential risks before they become serious concerns.
Our screening protocols follow international clinical guidelines, incorporating advanced laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging. We provide a supportive, confidential environment where women can discuss their family history and lifestyle factors, allowing us to create a personalized screening schedule that offers peace of mind and long-term health security.

Screening FAQ
Understanding the basics of gynaecological cancer prevention.
For most women between the ages of 21 and 65, a Pap smear is recommended every 3 years. If combined with HPV testing (Co-testing), the interval may be extended to every 5 years depending on your previous results and age.
The HPV vaccine significantly reduces the risk of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers caused by the most common high-risk HPV strains. However, regular screening is still necessary as the vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV or other gynaecological cancers.
You should seek a consultation if you experience abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods or after menopause), persistent pelvic pain, unusual discharge, or changes in bowel/bladder habits, as these can sometimes be early indicators.
