A member asked:
Which is the other thing a woman should get every year beside a pap smear and mammogram?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on age: At your age you need pap but if the pap is normal 2-3 years in a row you can do it less often. Mammogram is recommended after age 50. You may wish to check blood lipids, blood sugar and take vaccinations as needed. See this site for more information. http://www.cdc.gov/aging/.
