Women's Health Singapore: GP Care, Screening & Imaging

Pricing depends on the package and any add-ons. Indicative starting points: Essentials from $250, Standard from $580, Comprehensive from $1,180. Individual services start lower; for example, 2D mammogram from $174.40 (one side) and pelvic ultrasound from $201.65.

Singapore’s ScreenForLife programme recommends Pap smear from age 25 (every 3 years if normal), HPV testing from age 30 (every 5 years if normal), and mammography from age 40-49 annually, then every 2 years from age 50. DEXA bone density screening is recommended from age 65. Earlier screening may be advised based on family history, prior abnormal results, or risk factors discussed at the consultation.

A Pap smear examines cervical cells under a microscope for abnormality. An HPV test detects the DNA of high-risk HPV strains in cervical cells. Co-testing runs both on the same sample. From age 30, ScreenForLife recommends HPV testing as the primary screen. Pap smear remains the recommended screen from age 25-29. Both tests are collected the same way: a small brush passed across the cervix during a 5-minute internal examination.

All our doctors are trained to manage women’s health concerns, including cervical screening, breast examination, contraception, menstrual disorders and menopause. You may indicate a doctor preference at booking via WhatsApp or phone, and we will accommodate where possible based on the schedule. A female chaperone is available for any internal examination if requested.

Walk-ins are accepted during clinic hours, though waiting times can vary. For Pap smear, mammogram referral, or any package booking, an appointment is recommended so the GP has the full window to take history, perform the procedure and explain next steps. Booking is via the website, WhatsApp 8779 9898, or phone 6909 0190.

The first visit is a 30-minute consultation. The GP reviews your medical and menstrual history, current symptoms, contraception, family history of breast or ovarian cancer, and screening history. The relevant examination, sample collection or blood draw is done at the same visit where appropriate. Imaging at partner centres is booked at the end of the consultation. A follow-up consultation 5-10 working days later goes through results and any next steps.

Indicative turnaround: routine bloods 1-2 working days, hormone panels 2-3 working days, Pap smear cytology 5-7 working days, HPV testing 5-7 working days, mammogram and ultrasound reports 3-7 working days from the partner centre. Urgent results (for example, suspicious mammogram findings) are flagged faster and the GP will contact you directly. Routine results are reviewed at a planned follow-up consultation.

For imaging at partner centres (mammogram, breast ultrasound, pelvic ultrasound, DEXA), a GP referral letter is provided after the consultation. Some imaging centres accept self-referral but most require the letter. The GP’s clinical context on the referral helps the radiologist tailor the report. Mediway coordinates the booking and the report flows back to us for follow-up.
