[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You no longer need a yearly pap look it up. You don't need to go yearly!!! [/quote] A pap isn’t the same as a pelvic exam. I believe pelvic exams are still recommended annually. [/quote] Ok, but visualization of the cervix can be important in detecting changes to the cells as well. [/quote] Sure, but this doesn’t contradict what I said. A pelvic exam includes visualization as well as palpitation. Or at least, that’s how my gyn does it - I only get a pap every 5 years, but an annual well woman exam that includes a speculum and palpitation (and also a breast exam of course). [/quote]
