After The Second Child Through C Section, Now Have Tailbone Pain. Pap Smear Test Shows Abnormal Cells. Cervical Cancer?

22, female, 2 kids, last child was 7 months ago via c section as with my oldest. For the past couple of months I've had excruciating tailbone pain. I haven't had any trauma to that area. When I had a Pap smear done after I had my daughter 7 months ago, my cells came back abnormal. I just read, and I know in shouldn't google everything, that cervical cancer and tailbone pain is associated with each other. I hope you can ease my mind a little.

Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
All abnormal cells on pap smear do not indicate cervical cancer. These cells only indicate that you need to have some further testing to exclude any pre cancerous or cancerous condition.
Aim of doing pap smear is to diagnose & treat cervical disease at an early stage before it becomes cancer. So, don't be so scared just report back to your Gynecologist. Doctor will either call you after some time for a repeat smear or recommend you further testing like Colposcopy +_ biopsy.
Take care.
