Dr. Joël Renaudie, cancer surgeon specializing in women’s surgery, specifies that the frequency of consultations must be one year for young women and that it can go up to two years for older women. Before recalling that cervical cancer screening by smear, is to be done every five years, which does not mean that you have to wait five years to consult…
The PCR test, on the other hand, is used more in women from the age of thirty, an age from which it is necessary to screen for breast cancer every two years, by mammography or even by ultrasound. Remember that for these two types of cancer, screening campaigns are organized by social security.
Dr. Joël Renaudie also recommends vaccination against papillomavirus infections, both for girls and for boys who during sexual intercourse can transmit the virus to their partner. The injection of the vaccine is to be done by the referring doctor from the age of 9 years.
Regarding the advanced consultations in gynecology offered at the CH in Bourganeuf, the specialist underlines that they are important for two reasons. First of all, they make it possible to carry out cancer screenings and provide advice on contraception and lifestyle. Then, when there is a diagnosis of pathology, they make it possible to best direct the patients towards the appropriate specialized services.
