The frequency of exams can vary based on age, medical history, and risk factors. Typically:
- Annual Exams: For women over 21 or those who are sexually active. - Pap Smear: Every 3 years for women aged 21-65, or more frequently if abnormalities are found. - High-Risk Patients: More frequent monitoring may be needed for those with a history of gynecologic cancers or other significant health issues.
