Current recommendations state that screening for cervical cancer should start by age 21 (Moyer, 2012). After age 21, women should have a well women examination, which includes a pelvic exam and cytology (Pap smear) every 3 years to check for cervical cancer. From age 30 to 65, women should be screened with cytology every 3 years or tested for cytology/human papillomavirus (HPV) every 5 years (Huh et al., 2015; Moyer, 2012). After a total hysterectomy, with removal of the cervix, cervical cancer screening with Pap smears is not necessary. Sexually active women should be also screened for chlamydia infection. This can be done during a pelvic exam. Additional detailed information can be found in the Final Update Summary: Cervical Cancer: Screening (U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, 2015).
