Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have pap smear results.
Your sample is adequate for reporting. You don't have any malignancy.
You have just some inflammation. Reactive cellular change means some reparative changes after inflammation is there.
No need to worry. Just be relaxed. You don't have any malignancy in cervix.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
