Ghosting your gyno
At this age, you can typically go five years between Pap tests, as long as you’ve had normal results up until this point. But that doesn’t mean you should skip you gyn visits altogether. You might still need yearly pelvic and breast exams, plus your annual checkup is a great chance to discuss any health issues or hormonal changes you’ve been experiencing. (Don’t worry how crazy your symptoms sound—we guarantee that your gyno has seen crazier.)
