A member asked:
If a woman is suspected of having hpv infection and needs to get a palvic exam every 5 years for the rest of her life to prevent vaginal cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not necessarily. After three negative Pap smears, usually no additional follow-up exam or testing is needed. Discuss with your gynecologist and follow her advice.
