Annual exams?

This may be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask. My doctor does a PAP every three years. I had one today along with getting Mirena. That being said, do I still need to go for a yearly pelvic exam? Where I used to go they did the PAP every two years but I still had to go once a year. Partly due to renewing my BC pill prescription but they also palpated my ovaries and uterus as well as performed a manual breast exam. I forgot to ask today and nothing was mentioned.

Re: Annual exams?

  • My dr does the pap every 2 years and has never made me come between those.

  • Same as pp. Ive never had an internal exam except with my pap every 2 years. (Well and 6 weeks post partum)
  • My doc told me they still want to see me yearly, but I will only get a pap every three years. Then in my 30's it will be every 5 years.
  • My doctor does annual exams and annual paps. I had my more a put in last week but wasn't due for a pap again until April, so she said she would see me back then.
