Pap results came back as abnormal. what happens next? what should i do? is it bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need for follow-up: An abnormal pap test at 21 years of age is not a reason to lose sleep over. However, you must get follow-up testing for hpv and repeat pap or colposcopy and if needed biopsy, as may be advised by your doctor. In short, follow your doctor's advice.
