What are the different kinds of Pap smear results?
Your Pap smear can come back with the following results: normal, inflammation, abnormal and cancerous, according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. If your results come back as normal, it means your cervix is healthy and nothing else needs to be done. If your results indicated inflammation, it usually indicates that some sort of infection is present. Abnormal results indicate that cervical dysplasia is present, which means your cervical cells could be in the process of becoming cancerous and treatment may be necessary. If your results indicate cancer cells are already present, treatment is needed immediately.
