Brief Answer:
INDICATES CERVICAL INFECTION
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern
This means that there is no cancer.
However, there is infection in the cervix.
You need to receive antibiotic treatment for the same.
A cervical swab and culture also should be taken to direct the antibiotic treatment.
After the course of treatment is over, repeat smear should be taken to confirm that the inflammation / infection has subsided.
All the best
