A member asked:
Im 64yo. ive had normal pap smears for over 40 years. how often do i need a pap smear at this age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In this situation, the standard recommendation is paps every 5 years until age 65, then none. If you have had a normal pap since age 60, probably just one more at 65; or maybe no more at all. Check with your personal gyn to be certain for your particular situation.
