For DES Daughters who live in countries without specific guidelines on pelvic and pap smear exam frequency, we suggest giving the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) guidelines to your doctor and asking your medical professionals to use them to guide your treatment. Access the US guidelines easily by printing the “Print and Take to Your Gynecologist” resource for professionals.
