For all the ladies out there (especially the ones with PCOS)

Hi...quick question...Was it a requirment for all of the ladies to get a pap smear done before surgery? I have PCOS but have not had a pap in a couple of years (don't ask.....and I know I need to get one soon). I am just trying to figure out if I need to make this appointment of I can get away with waiting until after the surgery.

Thanks!

You don't need it for the op but you do for your own health

Nope. My gynecological medical history wasn't even asked about except when I mentioned unexplained infertility and then it was just the history of that - they never asked when was the last time I had had a pap.
