In regard to the question about patches and paps/pelvics. What I want
to know specifically is: Is it a requirement for the doctor to do a
pap/pelvic exam if a woman wants to go on estrogen patches for
menopause? In other words, would a doctor refuse to give her the patch
unless she has a pap/pelvic exam?
