Had Hysterectomy, Still Have Ovaries. Had Pap Test And Asked For Repeat And Breast Screening Abnormal. Suggest?
I had a hysterectomy in 1993. I do still have my ovaries. Last week I had a "pap" test. They want to repeat the test due to "unsatisfactory" results. I don't understand. First I have no cervix, second I have had normal results since 1993. Also for the first time my breast "screening" is abnormal and I will be having a "diagnostic" mammogram soon-again always been normal for 13 years
hi dear, just wanted to know the indication of your hysterectomy. If done for uterine or cervical cancer than it has to be repeated at intervals to rule out spread. unsatisfactory pap means that the endocervical cells are not visible on slide for the comment. however, in your case, cervix is not there, so this reporting doesnt seems up the mar, may be the pathologist was not informed about your surgery you can very well consult your gynae or the pathologist and get the things cleared
