[ Peck is angered ]. Walter Peck: Now you either *show me* what is down there, or I come back with a court order. Dr. Peter Venkman : [ Venkman snaps back ] You go get a court order, and I'll sue your funny ass for wrongful prosecution. Walter Peck: You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.
Who should have a Pap smear? You and your doctor can decide when it's time for you to begin Pap testing and how often you should have the test. In general, doctors recommend beginning Pap testing at age 21. Doctors generally recommend repeating Pap testing every 3 years for women ages 21-65. Women age 30 and older can consider Pap testing every 5 years if the procedure is combined with testing for HPV. If you have certain risk factors, your doctor may recommend more-frequent Pap smears, regardless of your age.
Talk with your doctor about what is best for you. Most women can follow these guidelines: 1  If you are between ages 21 and 29, you should get a Pap test every 3 years. 2  If you are between ages 30 and 64, you should get a Pap test and human papillomavirus (HPV) test together every 5 years or a Pap test alone every 3 years.omen who do not have a cervix (usually because of a hysterectomy), and who also do not have a history of cervical cancer or abnormal Pap results, do not need Pap tests. Women ages 65 and older who have had three normal Pap tests in a row and no abnormal test results in the last 10 years do not need Pap tests.
