We offer diagnostic services and treatment for pre-invasive cervical disease, including LLETZ and cervical cautery. The following referral guidelines apply:

  • Cervical cancer: Patients suspected of having cervical cancer should be referred through the rapid access pathway and will be seen within two weeks.
  • Abnormal cervical smears (cytology): Patients with abnormal cervical smears are referred directly via the cytology service.
  • Suspected infections: Patients should be referred to Genitourinary Medicine through Suffolk's Integrated Contraception and Sexual Health service.
  • Menstrual disorders: Patients with menstrual disorders should be referred to general gynaecology or the Menstrual Disorders Clinic.
  • Symptoms suspicious of cervical disease: We also see patients with symptoms such as post-coital bleeding.
