Pap smear advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and anxiety about it.
It can come positive anew after previous normal reports.
But all you need to do is to wait for 6 months and get a Pap smear repeated by LBC method and get it examined by a good pathologist.
In case you have any query about if then please feel free to ask.
Regards
Dr Manisha Jain
