ABNORMAL PAP: ABNORMAL PAP, secondary to yeast infection. Follow up with your doctor for treatment. Then recheck pap at  a later date

Question 3

i had my pap smear under the benign cellular changes
i have infection "fungi consistent with candida species and reactive inflammation. do i have hiv?

Accepted Answer

Does not have to be: Candida is a typical infection that happen in many women. Having HIV puts one at higher risk. If you have risk factors for HIV then you should get tested.

Question 4

my last vaginal swab showed candida and leucocytes. i had an abnormal pap smear last year. are the white blood cells anything to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Have STD tests: Leukocytes (WBC) are usually not prominent with yeast infection (Candida) and often are evidence of other infections, especially STDs. Ask for testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas if not yet done. What kind of abnormal pap? If any doubt, talk to doctor about possible cervical biopsy to re-check for cancer or pre-cancerous changes, which also can cause increased leukocytes.

Question 5

if pap smear result is neg for chlamydia, candida, herpes and infection, but "moderate inflammation" noted, what cud this be? does it need treatment?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: Pap smears give information about the cells scraped off:normal, inflamed, precancerous or cancerous. Paps do not specifically tell you about STD's, although the doc could get other samples at the same visit that would. With the label of moderate inflammation, the doc would look for a treatable cause and bring you back for a repeat study earlier than if it were normal.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: you need a good Gyn evaluation.

Question 7

normal pap 2 yrs back.did pap today.doc told inflammed cervix.being treated for yeast infection.will pap test be normal?reason for inflammed cervix?

Accepted Answer

Yeast=inflammation: Your Pap result indicates that you do not have precancerous lesions or dysplasia which is the main purpose of Pap screening. Yeast infections are common and should resolve quickly after treatment

Question 8

i am 19 and sexually active for 2 years. when should i get a pap test? i have persistent yeast infection and late periods, can it be caused by hpv's?

Accepted Answer

Now: In the US, the usual pattern starts with first sexual activity or by age 21. HPV strains differ in their effect on your system. The pap smear is one way to monitor the effect of related strains. The genital wart strains would produce visible warts on most infected persons.  HPV would not be a common cause of  cycle changes or yeast infections.

Question 9

took pap smear test. had yeast and gardnerella. not on control pills. been 5 days when prds were due. only pink creamy discharge. prgncy test -ve. ?

Accepted Answer

Get treatment: The yeast and the gardnerella could explain pink creamy discharge. If not already on treatment, you may need to get treated for those vaginal infections. Home pregnancy tests, done correctly, are highly accurate and give assurance that you are not pregnant.

Question 10

i did my regular pap smear exam and doctor asked me to do swab test which revealed in gram stain that i have few puss cells and buddying yeast is seen?

Accepted Answer

Budding yeast: Since you have vaginal discharge and based on your report of budding yeast on the gram stain, you have vaginal candidiasis also known as a yeast infection.  This is a fairly common condition and it is not an STD.  It can be treated fairly easily, and I would ask your doctor for his recommendation/treatment.
