A member asked:

Have uti, why do i need to get a pap smear?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI: There is no association obvious here. Unless your doctor found something which indicated that one was related to the other it is probably just the doctor being thorough and doing a pap smear to make sure that you do not have abnormalities.

Hi there, I've had a pap smear and have contracted a UTI (seen a doctor and am on antibiotics). I was suppose to have an IVF in the near future. However, since I've had a UTI, how long should I actually wait until it's safe or okay for my next IVF?
