Protect your health with regular cervical cancer screening at Asante Medhealth. A pap smear is a quick, routine test that can detect abnormal cervical cells early, before they develop into cancer. Our experienced clinical team performs pap smears in a comfortable, private, and dignified environment at our Dunswart practice.
Why Are Pap Smears Important?
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women in South Africa, yet it is also one of the most preventable. Regular pap smears can detect precancerous changes in the cervix years before cancer develops, allowing for early treatment and significantly better health outcomes.
What to Expect During Your Pap Smear
A pap smear is a simple procedure that takes only a few minutes. During the test, our clinician will gently collect a small sample of cells from your cervix using a soft brush. The sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis, and results are typically available within two to three weeks.
Who Should Have a Pap Smear?
We recommend pap smears for all women aged 21 and older who are or have been sexually active. Women with a family history of cervical cancer, those living with HIV, and women who have not been screened in the past three years should prioritise booking a screening.
Confidential and Compassionate Care
At Asante Medhealth, we understand that cervical screening can feel uncomfortable or daunting. Our female-friendly practice environment ensures your privacy and dignity at every step.
All medical aids are accepted, and competitive rates are available for private-paying patients.
