A member asked:

Just received a letter from the doctor saying that i have an abnormal pap smear. what could it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: There are multiple levels of abnormalities of pap smears. Most just require continued follow-up with yearly pap smear. If the abnormality is more severe it may require colposcopic examination, biopsy or conization. It would be prudent to discuss the results with your doctor who has more details about the results and your health.
