The effect of hysterectomy on the risk of an abnormal screening Papanicolaou test result

Article Abstract:

Many women who have had a hysterectomy may not need regular Pap tests. In a study of 21,152 women 50 years or older who had a Pap test, those who had a hysterectomy were 10 times less likely to have an abnormal test. Women who took estrogen replacement therapy had an even lower risk compared with women who did not use estrogen.
