Years ago, my GP told me to avoid doctors .... I took her advice.
I only go when I'm sick .... or my for my annual hearing exam, bi-annual eye exam, or semi-annual dentist.

So, let me run this by you.
As we age, so does our immune system. This includes our body's ability to deal or cope with cells which have mutated. "Mutated" cells in the cervix, uterus, ovaries, etc., can be silent killers.
Though we're just scientifically making break-throughs into the detection of ovarian cancer, the most silent killer of all, having a PAP smear every two years has saved countless lives regarding the detection of cervical and some uterine cancers.
In this day and age, I simply do not understand the 19th century statement made by your GP. Your GP, by the way, IS a doctor!
