Why you need an OB/GYN throughout your life | Ohio State Medical Center

The recommended age for a first pap smear is 21, but Katherine Strafford, MD, an obstetrician/gynecologist at Ohio State, says some first-time gynecologic patients may be younger, depending on their needs or concerns. Following this initial meeting, an OB/GYN can then guide appropriate care throughout a woman’s reproductive years, during pregnancy and into menopause. While pap smears are often no longer necessary after age 65, concerns with pelvic health, ovaries and the uterus remain throughout a woman’s life.
