A member asked:
My dr still does pap smear every year even though i've never had an abnormal one. isn't it every three years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: PAP recommended every 3 yrs age 21-29 for avg. risk women. If at high risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease then screen more frequently. ACP recommends against performing screening pelvic exams.
