abnormal pap smear
I have a few questions regarding my abnormal pap results. It came back ASC-US, meaning it was caused either by an infection or HPV. Well I have HPV in the form of genital warts, and I was just treated for Bacterial Vaginitis, so it could very well be either in my case. Well if it was caused by HPV, does it mean it's actually ASC-H, or is that completely different. Also, can my immune system get rid of these abnormal cells, or are they just gonna stay the way they are. And if I had warts on my cervix, is this what they would be, or would there be actual warts? Sorry so many questions.
I didn't think of this before, i don't know why...but instead of saying I was just treated for BV I should mention that I was diagnosed with it at the time of the pap test, so it was active when the sample was taken.
I wouldn't think BV would cause an abnormal pap. I have had BV and gotten my pap the same day and my Pap came back normal , but the Dr was able to tell me right away that I had BV. If you have had HPV before...Then that is probabily what is causing the abnormal cells, or it could just be random cells...I
have had an abnormal pap before..they were certain it was caused by HPV...But I tested NEG for HPV. The Dr. explained to me that in child bearing years it is possible and quite normal to have some abnormal cells. However, If you know that you have had HPV in the past..then that could very well be what's causing it.Even though you got treated for HPV...You will always carry the virus..So it is possible that you have cells on your cervix. Highly doubt it's actually warts on your cervix. You need to ask your Dr these questions. That's what they are there for. Your Dr. will probabily want to do a follow up pap smear...Be sure to go it is Very important. Good Luck Hun
