A member asked:

Can i get cervical cancer between my 3 months check ups from hpv? will it develop in such short time? if so, will o need to shift monthly tests then??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow the protocol: Depending on what shows up on your pap smear, you'll be given the length of time that's safe for follow-up. Cancers take time to develop and there are lengths of time that are reasonably safe for waiting. I'm glad that you understand the importance of this and wish you a good outcome.
