Should follow up: Pap smears are still recommended if only one ovary removed. Many excellent treatments for vaginal dryness are available. Please consult your health care professional.

Need a checkup: Vaginal dryness is very common in the menopause, but there are a variety of treatments available. Common approaches are vaginal hormone cream or tablets and a unique laser treatment called MonaLisa Touch. Paps can be reduced in frequency after the menopause, but exams are still important to asses any problems and to check your remaining ovary.
