A member asked:

My lab results stated pap smear of cervix with low grade. what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need for follow-up: It is not dangerous, by itself, however, it would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice for follow up testing and testing for hpv. Do get yearly pap till three paps are clear.
