A member asked:
Pap smear result shows reactive cellular changes. does this indicate hpv? also shows moderate inflammation.followup recommended. what does this mean
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does not: You have some inflammation due perhaps to mild physical injury or a non-hpv infection. The smear should probably be repeated because the injury changes can mask the premalignant changes that the pap smear looks for. Best wishes.
