Individual needs.
Understanding the condition or procedure.
Preventive care considers health history, life stage and individual risk. It is an opportunity to discuss relevant screening and health questions without suggesting every test is necessary.
Preventive care should reflect age, relevant medical and family history, symptoms and applicable guidance. Screening and diagnostic investigations are different: a symptom may require assessment even if screening is up to date. Avoid universal test packages or implying that routine ovarian or uterine cancer screening is established for everyone.
Reasons for a consultation.
Symptoms can have different causes. These are reasons to seek an assessment, not a way to make a diagnosis online.
- Questions about appropriate screening
- Reviewing health risks
- Planning preventive care
When to seek medical advice.
Discuss preventive needs with a qualified professional. Symptoms should be evaluated as symptoms rather than managed only through screening.
Evaluation and management.
Review history and prior results. Clarify the purpose, potential benefits and limitations of any screening recommendation before making a decision. Questions about the purpose of a recommendation, reasonable alternatives and follow-up should be addressed before proceeding.
Benefits, risks and limitations.
Screening can have false-positive or false-negative results and may lead to further tests. Do not promise that screening prevents or detects every condition.
Frequently asked questions.
Is screening the same as investigating symptoms?
No. Screening concerns people without symptoms; symptoms may need a different assessment.
Does everyone need the same annual tests?
No. Appropriate preventive measures depend on individual factors and applicable guidance.
