Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As your pap smear report is not showing any abnormality there is no need to go for hysterectomy.
You can undergo periodic pap smear examinations to detect any abnormality at the earliest.
Better to undergo regular two yearly pap smear tests till the age of 70.
As there is no indication it is unnecessary to undergo major surgery like hysterectomy just as preventive measure.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
