Pap smear results typically fall into several categories:
Normal: No abnormal cells were detected. Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASC-US): The presence of slightly abnormal cells, but the changes don't clearly suggest precancerous cells. Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (LSIL): Mild abnormalities often caused by HPV infection. High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL): More severe abnormalities that are more likely to progress to cervical cancer if untreated. Atypical Glandular Cells (AGC): Abnormal cells that may signal a more serious condition, possibly in the cervical canal or uterus. Cancerous Cells: Cells indicating the presence of cervical cancer.
