Hysterectomy
I had a vaginal hysterectomy in 2013. I am sure that my surgeon told me that I did not need to have smear tests after this but I have continued to receive reminders from my health authority, requesting me to attend a smear test. Do I still need to have tests or is it just a case that my records were not updated

Re: Hysterectomy
No, you do not, because the cervix was removed.
