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>071 224 2788</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>Message the universal line, day or night, and tell us what is happening. In an emergency, go straight to your nearest emergency unit. Do not wait to be told it is nothing.</p>
