Normal : This is the standard way that a normal pap smear is reported. It tells you that there are enough cells collected to evaluate the specimen and that there is no evidence for a precancer or cancer.

Question 2

pap smear result says satisfactory for evaluation but limited by absence of endocervical components.  what does that mean exactly?

Accepted Answer

Translation: They can report that the cervical cells (which is why you do a pap) is enough to analyse. What is sometimes seen is additional cells from the inside lining of the womb but not on this specimen. I would not loose any sleep over this wording it represents feedback to the doc about the quality of the specimen. It doesn't mean anything bad for you.

They now can also test for the hybrid hpv dna test that can tell if in the skin there is any of the hpv dna that could cause cancer. They also can add a test to look for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Accepted Answer

Depends on patient.: For a woman between the ages of 30 and 65, if a baseline pap test is negative and the patient also has a negative hpv dna result (dual negative findings), then the next pap test can wait for 3 years.  Hope that this helps.
