Do I need a referral for a women's health check-up in Bangkok?

No — you can book directly at any private hospital in Bangkok without a GP referral. Most hospitals accept self-referred international patients for health screening packages.

At what age should I start mammography in Bangkok?

International guidelines vary. The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammography from age 45; UK NHS from age 50. Thai and most Asian guidelines recommend starting at 40. If you have a first-degree relative with breast cancer, start 10 years before their diagnosis age.

Is a Pap smear required every year?

Current evidence supports less frequent screening. NICE (UK) guidelines: every 3 years age 25–49, every 5 years age 50–64. With a negative HPV test: every 5 years. If you have not been screened recently, book now — Bangkok hospitals offer walk-in cervical screening from ฿1,000.
