Pap Test Need

From Marian Anne Eure, About.com Guide   June 23, 2004

I have a pap test every year as a part of my examination by my gynecologist. But many women do not need to have this test done anymore because their cervix has been removed surgically as a part of the hysterectomy they underwent. Do you ask your doctor questions about the care being provided? If you have had a hysterectomy you should question the need for a pap test, it is your body and your money.
