Hello and welcome to Health Care Magic Forum
The pap smear report is very close to a normal smear - there is no cancer or any of its precursors. lactobacilli are normal bacteria. Dense inflammation might suggest a local infection of the cervix or the vagina. If there are any symptoms of foul smelling or curd like vaginal discharge or any itching tell your GYN. Otherwise there is absolutely nothing to worry about on the smear.
