Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I did a pap smear test in September and here are the results: Specimen adequacy: Endocervical/Transitional Zone-Presnt Satisfactory for evaluation Benign Cellular changes: inflammation/reactive Cytological Pattern:Negative for Intraepithelial Lesion or Malignancy Comments: moderate polymorph neutrophils are seen in the background. Kindly correlate clinically. Please could you explain the results to me? Thanks Clarice
Hi. Good to see your concerns about your health. So far as your question is concerned , the report indicates that there are inflammatory changes (protective response of a body after injurious stimulus) in the tissue that is most probably due to an infection. There is no evidence of a cancer/malignant tissue. So relax. There is nothing to panic about. All you need to do is to visit your primary doctor for a prescription of appropriate antibiotics. Also if you are older than 40 years of age then you need to get this pap smear done on yearly basis. Wishing you best of health. Regards.
