We are registered with the National Cancer Screening Service for provision of cervical cancer screening ( smear tests ). These are available free of charge if you are currently due a smear ( every 3 years for women age 25 – 45, every 5 years from age 45 – 60 ). More information about smears is available on their website http://www.cervicalcheck.ie
A full Well Woman check requires a double appointment. It will be adapted to your age and specific complaints, taking into account your past medical history and family history.
It will include a comprehensive history, full physical examination and urinalysis. Smear test is included if you are due a smear.
Blood tests and ECG may be done if appropriate ( if you would like a cholesterol test you should be fasting for 12 hours so book an early morning appointment ).
We will also check your BMI ( body mass index ) and cardiac risk and advise accordingly.
