A member asked:
Yearly paps first abnormal pap - ascus - age 40. what is best follow up? hpv test not done and not offered. how serious is this ascus result ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ASCUS: Ascus is not usually serious. It is just a red flag that your physician needs to do a repeat follow up test sooner than usual. It is also unusual, now a days, to not offer the hpv hybrid test with the pap smear. You should clarify with your physician why this vital test was not offered to you.
