WELL WOMEN'S CLINICS
Except at one clinic, the demand from first attenders for this service has declined considerably,
but there is an increasing number of women who have attended previously, and who have asked for
a repeat visit, usually after 3 years.
The abnormalities found are shown in the accompanying table, and follow a similar pattern to
those of previous years. In 1969 four cases of malignancy were found. In three of these there was no
abnormality visible on examination, and in the fourth there was leukoplakia of the cervix, which was
confirmed histologically. Two of the women were under 35 years, and the maximum parity was three.
Perhaps a word of warning should be uttered to those who are arithmetically minded when
reading the table—it often happens that more than one condition is found in the same woman. There
may also appear to be undue disparity between the total number of women seen, the number of
women found healthy, and those recalled or referred to their family doctor. In many cases a condition
which is found is discussed on the spot and advice given; in others a condition is not sufficiently
important to require treatment, but the woman cannot be classed as completely healthy.
