Is Getting A Pap Smear Test Every Year Necessary?
I am a woman who ias 73 years old. I have tested positive for HPV. The last GYN I went to told me I didn t need a Pap Smear every year (this was a few years ago). I was treated with a colposcopy about 5 years ago by another GYN. What is your recommendation about Pap Smears?

Hello,
Cytology and smear examine after 65 year's should be every three years.
So please consult your gynecologist she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
