[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 508568, member: 1233"] OF course each of us should talk to our own doctors. I am sorry if my statement was misleading or gave the idea that anything I say EVER should be substituted for your doctor's care. This IS what several doctors have specifically told me though. It may be due to all that was taken out, or other factors. I was just told that the risk is so very low that it is more important to do things like mammograms and bone density. I have heard this about paps from two family practice docs - both deliver babies and do routine women's care, the ob/gyn who did my hysterctomy, and another OB/GYN in my area. This was a couple of years ago, and the docs were saying even back then that they were having a very tough time getting insurance to pay for pap smears in women who have had complete hysterectomies (meaning both ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix). I am very sorry if I upset someone. I did not mean to at ALL. Often we pass on info from our own doctors, articles we read, etc... and a reminder to make sure that readers know that what we post is NOT a trained medical opinion based on their history is important.
