Agcus Pap

If an agcus pap (ascus pap) determines cervical dysplasia, a higher risk of miscarriage is possible and a colposcopy is required. Borderline cervical cytology with slightly atypical cells is called “atypical cells of undetermined significance”. Although ASCUS is common, only a very small percentage of these women will develop a cervical lesion and an even smaller segment will have cervical cancer. If left unmanaged, however, greater risk of cancer heightens. If an agcus pap (ascus pap) determines cervical dysplasia, a higher risk of miscarriage is possible and a colposcopy is required.

Miscarriage, Colposcopy

There are three ways considered safe and effective for managing women with ASCUS. They include repeating the test in 4 to 6 months to monitor the continued existence, colposcopy and obtaining cervical biopsies of affected areas, and HPV DNA testing. Treatment will vary depending upon a complete assessment. If an agcus pap (ascus pap) determines cervical dysplasia, a higher risk of miscarriage is possible and a colposcopy is required.
