Slightly Abnormal Pap Smear

A slightly abnormal pap smear doesn't usually warrant a cone biopsy or colposcopy. A condition when there appear minor changes in size and shape of the cells obtained from the lower part of the womb is referred to as ASCUS or atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. Very often, this condition results from vaginal infections and is frequently seen in women with HPV. A slightly abnormal pap smear doesn't usually warrant a cone biopsy or colposcopy.

Slightly Abnormal Pap Smear

  -  

Cone Biopsy, Colposcopy

Women diagnosed with ASCUS may undergo colposcopy, a close examination of the cervix under a microscope. A doctor is likely to offer Papanicolaou test every 4-6 months within the next two years to make sure the condition is gone and the cells are not malignant. A slightly abnormal pap smear doesn't usually warrant a cone biopsy or colposcopy.
