Whilst having a pap test my doctor said that my cervix looks benign.does that mean my cervix is healthy or does it mean a benign cyst ect. was there.

Dr. Latoya Edwards answered

Normal: Benign means normal. Whether referring to appearance or tissue pathology, this means Non-cancerous , not clinically concerning. If a PAP was completed the test will take a closer look at the actual cells on the surface, if this is also benign, then excellent !
