How Often Should Women Get Screened for Cervical Cancer?
The frequency of cervical cancer screening depends on age and health history. Generally, women aged 21 to 29 should have a Pap smear every three years. Women aged 30 to 65 should have a Pap smear combined with an HPV test every five years or a Pap smear alone every three years. However, women with certain risk factors may need more frequent screening.
