Abnormal Pap.: Your pap is adequate in its amount and type of cells but the cells show evidence of infection or inflammation. You should have had the result of the high risk HPV test included in the report. This would let you know if HPV, the cause of cervical cancer, could possibly be the cause of the abnormality. If negative, most likely cause is inflammation from vaginitis/vaginosis.... No cause for concern.
