Understanding HPV and Abnormal Pap Smears

Abnormal pap results may be reported as “Abnormal cells of unknown significance (ASCUS)” , low grade intra-epithelial lesion (LGSIL) or high grade squamous intra-epithelial lesion ( HGSIL). The next steps in care are decided depending on the results of the pap smear.

LEEP – Presurgical instructions

LEEP is a procedure done when you have a high grade abnormal pap smear.
Main risk of the procedure – Vaginal BLEEDING.

Colposcopy – What to expect?

The doctor may put diluted vinegar or iodine on your cervix. This can help the doctor to see any areas that are not normal. Sometimes the doctor also takes photos or videos.
When the speculum goes in, it can feel a little uncomfortable. If the doctor does a biopsy, you may feel a pinch and have some cramping.
