Question 8

i had a hysterectomy 24 years ago, and had my first pap in 18 years, the results were: benign squamous mucosa with endosalpingiosis?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your MD: You need to talk to your GYN MD about the pap smear results. The benign squamous mucosa is consistent with the upper vaginal wall. The Endosalpingiosis suggests a portion of a Fallopian tube is "trapped" in the vaginal cuff and may produce future  vaginal bleeding.

Question 9

had a vaginal bx done and results came back "squamous mucosa with hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis and hypergranulosis". what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

No cancer: What you described is the normal structure of vaginal epithelium. 
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 10

i had a leep procedure done for ciniii.  the margins were clear but what does "separate mucosa fragments positive for severe squamous dysplasia" mean?

Accepted Answer

Free piece positive: By leep procedure sometimes Gyn may do the procedure with specimen obtained not in one step but trim the cervix if concern about miss a lesion and that someone will call it "separate mucosa fragments" As long as the margins were free you should be fine but to follow up as instructed to have negative Pap later then you have nothing to worry about. Take care and follow up yearly is a must.
