I Had A Pap Smear And The Results Showed Hpv

Colposcopy is needed for further evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Before doing a pap smear you should not wear a tampon in 48 hours, don't have intercourse or use douche for 48 hours before examinations.
If you do this you can have false negative results which means your results may come negative while being positive.
The transvaginal ultrasound can detect cancer at certain dimensions.
Colposcopy is needed to evaluate the changes in colum epithelium and determine the stage.
Even the treatment depends on stage.
Please don't worry too much better you get final result.
Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
