The frequency may change based on your age, medical history (including HPV status), and previous Pap test results. Dr. Morin will advise you on the appropriate screening schedule for your individual circumstances based on current provincial guidelines.

- Dr. Morin can help manage bothersome menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and bone density concerns.
