If the hysterectomy was done because of pap-related problems, a woman over 50 should continue pap smears of the vaginal cuff. If the pap smear was done for other reasons (e.g. bleeding, fibroids), then pap smears may be discontinued. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation. Annual pelvic exams are recommended in any case, with or without the pap smear.
