Thank you for being a rational person about this bc I’m not even talking about people like #2 that have a physical reasons why they can’t get it. I’m purely talking about the ones that not just actively choose not too but also say shit like that with it

my gyno said you should start getting them at 21 and be getting them every 3 years. obviously every body is different and listen to your doctor. i think the reason they upped the recommendation to 25 is bc cervical cancer is much less common in younger women, but if you have a history of cancer in your family you should start earlier

Many other countries have changed the minimum age to 25 hopefully America follows the same path and we stop putting women through unnecessary medical pain🙏

instead of upping the minimum age, we should just start pushing for women to get local anesthesia or have other pain management options. the pain is going to be unnecessary once they get to 25- that won’t ever go away unless we address the root issue, which is doctors not even offering something like localized anesthesia
