A member asked:
Do you need another pap test for getting birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically: Most physicians will want to do a physical and pap smear before giving you birth control pills, particularly the first time. However, speak to your physician. If you had a pap smear 6 months ago, they will typically give you enough to get to your next physical.
