A member asked:

If we are not sexually active also should we get papsmear test done after 30years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pap testing: Pap testing to detect cervical cancer is essential whether or not you are sexually active. The frequency of pap testing has been changed from one to three years in uncomplicated negative patients, but still needs to be done.
