My daughter got her first papsmear at 18 and had a bad reading. Although she was not sexually active, she had some other hormonal problems and we wanted to see how her hormones were affecting other systems. A lot. Even now, six years later, she gets tested every six months, down from every four months recently. You might guess what I think about this recommendation.
I’m with you (see my previous post on this thread for my personal story - embarrassing, but this is too important not to share with others so they can protect their children who sometimes make really stupid mistakes!!!).
It makes it even MORE important if there are things that women who are NOT sexually active get that can be found with a cervical exam!
This makes me VERY, VERY angry!!!
