My daughter's pap came back abnormal. they said 2 wait 3 months & will have another pap. that cells correct itself. should i be worried?

No: Vaginal bacterial infections are common in younger woman and the most common cause for an abnormal pap. If they recommended repeating it in 3 months, they are waiting for the infection to clear so that they can retest.
