At what age does a pap go from 1 year to 3.?? That’s what my new doctor just told me I was always under the impression it was every year.? At least going by my old doctor (I’ve been seeing since 16 I’ll be 26) but he retired 😩 so I can’t ask him.

It’s now recommended every three years unless you have a history of abnormal paps, or family history. That’s what I was told

Unless you've had abnormal results or are changing partners yearly, every 3 years is the normal here. Ive only once needed to go every 6 months when they thought i had cervical cancer, and when everything came back normal went back to every 3 years. 🤷♀️

@bhtslove, @mb2424, @lii94, that makes sense everything has always came back normal. It just took me by surprise when she said it and I didn’t wanna start googling so thank you..!

Idk mine are every year they were every 6 months because my peps kept coming back abnormal but that’s only been the last year and a half and I’m almost 30. Until then it was always once a year. I see my doctor again in Aug. so I guess I’ll find out then lol.

Yes, it is every 3 years here. I even have family history of uterine cancer, but that doesn’t change it. Still have to be seen every year though to get birth control. They still look, just don’t do the swab.

3 unless it's abnormal or changing partners or something.

I don't think it's age related. I do believe that is just the new recommendation these days.
