Cervices don't close. Pap smears are generally done between ages 21 and 65.
For women with no history of abnormal pap smears, the frequency of paps is typically every three to five years. Women who had an abnormal or inadequate pap smear may get two smears in a year depending on their health history.
Most men don't get pap smears. Anal paps are sometimes done on some men, but this process is not widespread.
If you have a cervix after your partial hysterectomy, you should continue to get pap smears. If you don't have a cervix, but a hysterectomy was done for pap problems, you should continue vaginal paps. Otherwise, pap smears aren't normally needed. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
Abnormal paps almost never mean HIV. While women with HIV are more likely to have abnormal pap smears, most women with abnormal pap smears do not have HIV.
No, pap smears may use other codes, particularly if there is a history of abnormal paps or some clinical abnormality.
Frequency of pap smears depends on a woman's age and health history. For women without a history of abnormal pap smears or certain other conditions, paps are recommended every three to five years. Contact your health care provider to find out what frequency is recommended in your specific case.
If you still have a cervix, you should continue to get pap smears until age 65. If you don't have a cervix, but had the uterus removed due to cancer or precancerous changes of the cervix, vaginal paps should continue. If you had the uterus removed for some other reason, you probably don't need pap smears. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
"Paps" typically refers to a group of mountains or hills that have distinct conical peaks. In the case of "Paps of Jura", it specifically refers to a range of three prominent hills on the island of Jura in Scotland.
If the hysterectomy was done for pap related problems, ongoing vaginal paps may be recommended. If the pap was done for other reasons, then ongoing pap smears are not normally recommended. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
Yes you can still pass it on to your partner if you have unprotected sex. A pap smear can't tell you if you do or don't have HPV. A pap smear only looks for damage to the cells of the cervix caused by high-risk HPV. For instance, people with genital warts can have normal Pap smears.
