Pap Smear Atypical Cells

Pap Smear Atypical Cells

In a positive pap smear, atypical cells are found, but do not necessarily mean cervical cancer associated with HPV. Earlier, many women who had Papanicolaou test and showed no abnormalities in the cells frequently were misdiagnosed due to a great chance of cancerous cells being unnoticed. Nowadays, to reduce the chance of a wrong diagnosis, a condition with the cells being neither perfect, nor cancerous, is considered to as ASCUS. In a positive pap smear, atypical cells are found, but do not necessarily mean cervical cancer associated with HPV.

Pap Smear Atypical Cells

  -  

Cervical Cancer, HPV

Very often, this condition results from minor vaginal infections, douching, spermicides, diaphragms, etc. Sometimes, Papanicolou test may pick up the cells unrelated to the cervix area (usually at times close to the menses). Usually, a repeat test is recommended in 4-6 months. In a positive pap smear, atypical cells are found, but do not necessarily mean cervical cancer associated with HPV.
