A member asked:

Hi i did a pap smear and results came back as follow: low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion does it mean i have canser? or canser cells?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is Not Cancer: These are minimal changes, clearly not cancerous.Your gynecologist can guide you further. Such changes are common and are caused due to infections and do not change over many years. So you do not have to worry right now yet have follow up checks.
