A member asked:

My test pap smear is moderate inflammation.im so worried.its serious problem doc?thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Does not sound serio: Inflammation of the cervix is not uncommon but it is not serious. Pap is done to look for early Cervix Cancer. So a negative test for Cancer, means the test has done its primary job. Your gynecologist can help you further if you are anxious to find the cause and treatment but it is not anything serious..
