A member asked:
What causes partially obscuring inflammatory exudate on pap- ascus- neg hpv. had light period , is that what caused this result? is inflammatory exudate caused by blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You probably had a mild cervicitis (sex-related?) which presents with inflammatory exudate and Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASCUS). HPV is negative so you are likely safe. Follow-up for ASCUS is usually a repeat Pap smear at six months. Good luck.
