Any questions?

What does cervical screening test for?

Cervical screening tests for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) which is passed on from any skin-to-skin contact of the genital area or sexual contact. HPV usually has no symptoms so you may not know you have it.

What causes cervical cancer?

Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by an infection from one of the high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is detected in 99% of cervical cancers and the subtypes HPV-16 and HPV-18 account for over two thirds of cases. HPV is very easy to catch, has no symptoms and is spread by skin-to-skin contact of the genital area.

Most people will get a strain of HPV at some point in their lives and in around 90% of cases, will cause no problems and will resolve on its own. Around 10% of HPV infections will become persistent, putting women at risk of developing abnormal changes to cells that can go on to develop into cervical cancer.

How often should I have cervical screening?

Cervical cancer develops over time, and if caught early can easily be treated very effectively. It is recommended that women between the ages of 25-64 have screening every 3-5 years.

What should I do if I test positive for HPV?

If you test positive for HPV, you should book a follow-up appointment with one of our GPs to discuss your treatment. As HPV can develop into cervical cancer, it is really important that if HPV is detected, you speak to a GP who can arrange treatment to remove the cells before they turn cancerous.

How do I see a GP at Mayfield Clinic?

To access our GP services, you don’t need to be registered with us. You can book appointments directly from our website. We often have appointments available for the same day or next day within clinic opening hours and you can book directly with a GP.

If you are from overseas, you don’t need to be registered with the NHS or have an NHS number. Being seen at Mayfield Clinic won’t impact your eligibility to use the NHS in the future.

Does using Mayfield Clinic affect my NHS GP?

You can use Mayfield Clinic alongside your existing NHS GP practice. We believe in joined-up care; we don’t believe that it is in your best interests to have different doctors independently trying to treat you. For this reason, once you’ve seen a Mayfield Clinic GP we aim (with your permission) to share your consultation notes back with your current NHS GP.

For example, if you can’t get an appointment at your local GP practice this week, you can book in with Mayfield Clinic’s GPs. With your consent, we’ll share the Mayfield Clinic consultation notes back with you and your NHS GP, so that when you next see your NHS GP they will have a full picture of your care history.
