Functional Health Visit - Addressing the Root Cause of Illness 🎳 with Dr Johan Ganzevoort (R1500 private rate; medical aid rates vary)

For woman over the age of 25, a self-collected vaginal swab in the comfort of your home is now a validated alternative to doing a Pap Smear for the detection of early cancer and pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix - the mouth of your womb at the end of the vagina. The swab is sent to the lab to test for HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). If positive then you will need to proceed to do a Pap smear but if negative, you have a far lower risk of developing cancer of the cervix in the future. If you are living with HIV then you can test before the age of 25. On the telephone call, a doctor will assess your history, and order the test for you if you qualify. An additional lab fee of R400 through Ampath (medical aid rates vary) is applicable should you proceed with testing.  Delivery of the testing kit to your home can be arranged (at an additional charge). Alternatively the kit must be collected from our practice and dropped off at an Ampath depot. Your results will be sent via whatsapp.
