Probably none right: Right now, you do not need any treatment for hpv or for any changes in your cervical cytology. Most young women recover from this infection... It is only after the age of 30 that we start being concerned about persistent changes and only worry if you have high grade changes what is commonly called cin-3. You should find out what term did your cytology report use? Atypical cells or high grade chang.

Surveillance: It is simply good practice to follow your doctors advise & have your scheduled pap smears or other studies when recommended.The infection self heals but can hang around in hibernation forever, with the potential to trigger cancer at some point.You are young enough to benefit from the HPV9 vaccine, that would protect you from strains you don't have yet,but not treat what you have.
