How often should a women in her 20's - 30's go to the gynea?

I was told every 3 years and when you get older every year. But some people say every year no matter your age.

Which is correct?

Thanks

Both are correct... It will depend on your doctor and what results you have been getting. Often every 3 years is recommended for younger women when they haven't had any questionable results, family history of concerns, etc..

Some women are more comfortable having it done every year regardless for the peace of mind that all is well.
