A member asked:

Are pap smear tests mandatory in order to get birth control in toronto, canada?

I do not know: In the us a doctor would want to do a history and physical on the woman to make sure she has no problems or contraindications to the pill , if she is sexually active then a pap would also be done.

Medical Tradition: I do not know about mandatory. But, it is vital and common for a physician providing a female with this kind of medication to know the history, the anatomy and all other pertinent information before prescribing anything that can interfere with a body's normal functioning.
