A member asked:

What causes squamous metaplasia in the cervix?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cause is not importa: If you have this problem, your gynecologist will advise you what to do. It is nothing serious. Just have a follow up test(?Pap) as advised. It will probably be gone by next time. It does not get any worse. So quit worrying.
