Is it necessary to get a cervical screening test if you’ve been through menopause? Yes.

The National Cervical Screening Program recommends all women between the age of 25 and 74 have regular cervical screening tests to reduce the likelihood of developing cervical cancer.

You should still continue regular screening after menopause even if you are no longer sexually active or only had one partner.

It's always best to speak to your healthcare provider about your screening options. For further information you can also call the National Cancer Screening Register on 1800 627 701.
