A member asked:

I had a slightly abnormal pap with negative on hpv and all stds. my gyno said it could be inflammation due to sex. is this true? what else could it be

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow through: by frequent scheduled visits to your gyn doctor for PAP and HPV monitoring. Normal physiological acts ( sex ) should not produce abnormal reaction(s) or produce inflammation. Check with your doctor again, good thing in your PAP you don't have atypia or presence of cancer cells
