Well as it turns out I just learned something about this. I had a total hysterectomy at age 38. And since 60 all my gyn docs have said I don’t need one (actually I’m not sure I’ve had one since my hysterectomy).

This year, new doc and asked “have you ever had an abnormal pap?” Well yes I did in my 20’s .. had cryosurgery for it. Well, she says “we need to do a pap”. And it showed low grade squamous cells. Biopsy taken on Colposcopy showed same as pap - but I’m good for another year.

So.. did you ever have an abnormal Pap? And the guidelines are just that. I’d you want one you can have one.
