General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I understand your concern.
As you have not mentioned any symptoms, I consider that you have no complaints and had your pap smear as routine examination.
As you have mentioned that the report showed squamous epithelial cells and columnar cells without any abnormality in them and neoplastic changes, so the report is normal.
These cells are normally found in pap smear. But you should continue your pap smear test for every three years or as suggested by your doctor. This will help in making early diagnosis of Cervical carcinoma.
Hope this will help you.
