if you have had a complete hysterrectomy do you still need to have pap smaers?!

Question:
Answers:
Yes, you need to have Pap Smears after having a hysterectomy. When this procedure is performed, some of the cervix is left in tact. It is called the "cervical cuff" and is still prone to possibly getting cervical cancer. Yearly Pap Smears are recommended.

Other Answers:
If you had previously normal pap smears, no. If your previous pap smears were abnormal, then you need to continue having pap smears for the remainder of your life.
