Hi!
welcome to HCM!
A Pap smear,is a test for screening for cervical cancer in women by collecting cells from cervix.
A Pap smear can also detect changes in your cervical cells that suggest cancer may develop in the future .Negative for infra-epithelial lesion means no such lesion is detected by your smear and no evidence of malignancy.

INFLAMMATION can be due to some infection you can get a vaginal swab culture and senstivity and take a course of antibiotics.Pregnancy can be planned.Hope this helps!
Take care!
