A member asked:
Mild inflammatory pap smear, negative on dysplastic cells. should i worry? doc prescribed antibiotics. when to repeat pap smear test again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prfobably neg.: Pap smears are important in detecting premalignant cells that are in the process of converting to malignancy. The test however is only 40-50% accurate. Along with the cell analysis , routine HPV testing is done which when positive only suggests the potential for malignancy developing. I would repeat the test in 6 months and if inflammation seen, bx may be indicated.
