Hello and welcome to HCM,
The Pap smear is done to look for malignant cells in the cervix.
Your Pap smear report reads presence of superficial and intermediate cells on the smear.
Superficial and intermediate squamous cells are normal cells of the cervical tract.
Polymorphs are acute inflammatory cells present in cases of infection.
Thus, there is presence of infection only and no malignant cells are detected.
High cholesterol can be managed by life style changes and medication.
Pap test has nothing to do with high cholesterol or fatty liver.
Thanks and take care
