What Are the Next Steps After an Abnormal Pap Smear?
After an abnormal Pap smear, further evaluation is typically recommended. This may include:
Colposcopy: A detailed examination of the cervix using a special magnifying instrument. Biopsy: Removal of a small tissue sample from the cervix for further analysis. HPV Testing: Identifying the presence and type of HPV infection.
Based on the results, a treatment plan or follow-up schedule will be developed.
