What Does My Pap Smear Test Indicate?
Question: Further to my 2 questions before, the report of Pap Smear has come and it's says as follows:
A) Pap Smear - normal and next to be done in 3 years. Benign cellular changes associated with inflammation equivalent to cytological class II. Moderate inflammation with mixed bacteria. Suggestions none. (This test was done almost 17 days after taking VDM Kit with no sexual intercourse in that period, where it was said there was heavy discharge and severe inflammation and repeat test was recommended. Doctor had said no STD). During this current test, the doctor had said that the cervix and the vagina were very healthy and had negligible discharge and had nothing to worry.
B) HPV test - negative for HPV HR. Negative for high risk HPV. HPV 16/18 test - not performed. Method APTIMA HPV Assay for HPV HR
Now that it is all done, does it mean nothing further to be done and we can consider all good and do Pap smear after 3 years as the doctor has written in the report ? Have not visited her regular doctor as yet. Thanks a lot
