Q: how often should a woman do a palvic exam from the age of 55(every 5 years) to prevent vaginal cancer?

: Pelvic examination used to be recommended once yearly in the past. But it best if you find a Gynecologist or a Family physician and see him/her once annually who can do a general physical examination and periodically do a pelvic examination when indicated.
