Recommended Screening for Women
Women are recommended to undergo cancer screening annually and also to request HPV screening. A common question among women and mothers is, at what age should gynaecological screening begin? According to Dr. Dániel Dubecz, an obstetrician-gynaecologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, the need for screening is not determined by age. Instead, it is crucial for women and girls who are sexually active to have regular gynaecological screening. The general rule, whether for young girls or older women, is to have a gynaecological exam and screening once a year if there are no symptoms. Annual cancer screening is recommended from the start of sexual activity, along with HPV screening. Additionally, women over 35 should have a mammogram every two years.
