General gynae check ups
Why are there no annual check-ups in the UK?
I come from the Czech Republic and we have annual check-ups which include breast check, ultrasound and smear test.
I feel like there's no prevention here, only cure once you already have problems. And then you have to go through referrals and endless waiting.

Re: General gynae check ups
Hello there, so we do have screening here on the NHS ;
We have a cervical and breast screening programme that bases the age of starting and interval of check - ups on evidence based guidelines.
Ultrasound screening has been proven not to be useful except for in high risk populations.
You are so right though , screening is REALLY important , we need to encourage every one to attend when invited !
