Abnormal Pap Smear?

Does anyone have experience with abnormal pap smears? I got one four months ago and it came back looking crazy, so they did a biopsy which came back negative for HPV and just looking a little inflamed and like the cells were a little abnormal. They told me to just come back in a few months, but it was probably okay.

I went back a few weeks ago, and they just called with the results. Said they were still slightly abnormal, but not quite as bad as last time. She said if I just come back again in 6 months that should be fine, and I shouldn't worry about it.

I'm trying not to think about it, but it's so hard not to worry! These are my first two abnormal tests in ten years... it's just a little strange. Anyone else have an experience like this?

Re: Abnormal Pap Smear?

  • I had a few abnormal paps but they were "almost precancerous" cells (like they wouldn't classify them as precancerous but they were almost at that point).  I had a colposcopy as well as a LEEP a few years later.

    But my cousin used to have abnormal paps all the time and the doc always said they'd just keep an eye on it.  I think they eventually went back down to normal.

  • I had one abnormal one about 4 years ago. They said they would just follow up on it and most younger girls would clear anything abnormal on their own. So hopefully things keep going in the right direction for you.
  • Alright - thanks for the confirmation y'all!
