Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Just para keratotic cells alone do not mean anything.
Please upload the entire pap smear report so that I can go through it.
Do you have any symptoms or is it just a regular smear?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care
