Upload/report: Your full report may be uploaded for review by a HT specialist during an inbox consultation. A smear should be performed if you or your PCP have concerns.

How abnormal: The automated CBC instrument scans the cells and flags the specimen if there are abnormal cells. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
