Melton Health

The community health nurse runs a Well Women's Clinic which:
* provides women with pap smears; 
* teaches women how to undertake breast self-examination; and 
* covers other general health issues relevant to women, such as pelvic floors exercises, menopause, and sexual health.

PAP SMEARS
Pap tests are available with a Pap test provider, Community Health Nurse at MRHS. The Pap test (or Pap Smear) is a quick and simple test used to check for changes to the cells of the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer.

The Pap test is a screening test, not a diagnostic test.  This means that women without symptoms are tested at regular intervals (every 2 years) to check for abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix.  Most Pap test results are normal. 

Please phone for an appointment...........don't make an excuse, make an appointment.
