A member asked:
Pap smear done 8 months back, no atypical cells, only mild inflammatory smear. doctor said it is normal, should the test be repeated any time soo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Not needed. : It's good news if the cells where not abnormal. Some inflammatory changes are not worrisome. It is also important to know if the HPV test was done. HPV is a virus which may lead to abnormal cells in time. If not the HPV and cells were both negative, you should have nothing to worry about regarding cervical cancer. Inflammatory changes are usually self limited and may be due to hormonal factors.
