A member asked:

How often can i need a pap smear after abnormal cells?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the type: And severity of abnormality. Mild dysplasia requires yearly repeat paps. Other types of abnormalities may require colposcopic examination, with or without biopsy. It would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice.
