A member asked:

Keep getting abnormal pap smear but my colposcopy comes out normal just irritation. what can this mean?

HPV vaccine: If the PAP results are abnormal, it is important that you get regular follow-up tests. You are young enough to take HPV vaccine, which prevents most HPV related diseases.
