Lack of endocervical cells
by Constantcloud, Jul 04, 2003 12:00AM
I am 38 years old, have a history of abnormal paps, one leap done in 1997, and I just completed having 3 pap smears come back with lack of endocervical cells. Can you tell me what this could mean? My doctor was not very helpful in answering any questions I had regarding this, she was in a rush at all three of my appointments. Plus, she said my blood pressure was alot lower than normal at 98/60, when I usually run about 120/80.
I told her I've been feeling tired alot lately, and my limpnodes under my arms are sore right before and after my periods. To this she said nothing. Can you give me any information to these questions?

I'm 59 years old (finished with menopause) and recently received my Pap results "no endocervical cells present due to atrophy". My doctor wants to put me on Vagifen and do another Pap in 3 months. The first words on the Vagifen docs "Before using this medicine" is: WARNING: This drug could increase the chance of womb (endometrial) cancer in women who have been through menopause. Would someone out there help me understand if I should take Vagifen? What's the big deal with not having endocervical cells? Do I need them?
