Both point to the same advice: a symptom you have been putting off checking is worth a second look this month.</p>
<h2>If you have an abnormal cervical screening result</h2>
<p>A colposcopy sounds bigger than it is. It is a closer look at your cervix, done in the same kind of chair as a Pap smear, and it takes about 20 minutes. <a href="/knowledge/colposcopy-explained">Read exactly what happens</a>, including what your result actually means.</p>
<h2>If your periods have been irregular for months</h2>
<p>PMOS, the condition long known as PCOS, is one of the most common reasons behind irregular periods, and it is manageable once it has a name. <a href="/knowledge/pcos-decoder">Read the PMOS Decoder</a> for the full picture: symptoms, first tests, and your next step.</p>

Here is which number does what, so you never wait on the wrong line.</description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We get asked this more than anything else, so here it is in one place.</p>
<h2>One number for every centre</h2>
<p>WhatsApp <strong>065 072 5315</strong>. It works for Johannesburg, Pretoria and every centre we open, at any hour. Use it to book, to move an appointment, or to ask a quick question. Save it in your phone under Network One Health.</p>
<h2>To speak to a person</h2>
<p>WhatsApp <strong>066 499 2713</strong>. This is our Johannesburg team, and they are real people during working hours. They book appointments for every centre, not only Johannesburg, so you do not need a different number for Pretoria.</p>
<h2>By phone</h2>
<ul>
<li>Johannesburg: 011 458 2497</li>
<li>Pretoria consulting rooms: 012 320 0167</li>
</ul>
<h2>By email</h2>
<p>info@networkonehealth.co.za. Email is right for documents, referral letters and anything that is not urgent.</p>
<h2>If something feels wrong</h2>
<p>Go to your nearest hospital, day or night. Do not wait to be told it is nothing. Then let us know what is happening on 066 499 2713.</p>
