A member asked:

I was wondering - can an abnormal pap be a sign of early pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Pap smear is a test to identify cancerous or precancerous cells. Pregnancy should not give an abnormal pap smear result. Certain types of infection may give an abnormal result. Please review your pap smear findings with your doctor.
