A member asked:

Doctor didn't take enough cells because a cervical polyp was there test came back inconclusive she wants me to take the test again in 3 months why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Healing: I am guessing that she took the polyp out of your cervix and wants it to heal. In essence your pap was inconclusive and that is the same as not having had a pap. You still need one and by waiting 3 months she can be sure what the polyp has done.
