Brief Answer:
no cancer; it may due to infection or injury.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

The findings of PAP smear shows that you have inflammation and hemorrhage. It is negative for malignancy.

In simple terms, this means that you do not have a cervical cancer. There is just reddening and swelling of area with some bleeding (inflammation and hemorrhage).

This is commonly due to infection or an injury. For the treatment, a course of antibiotics (I will prefer doxycycline) may be needed. Consult your local gynecologist for further management.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.
