If your Pap smear results come back abnormal, your healthcare provider may recommend further testing to determine the extent and nature of the abnormality. This may include:
HPV test: To check for the presence of high-risk HPV types that are associated with cervical cancer. Colposcopy: A detailed examination of the cervix using a special magnifying device. Biopsy: Removal of a small tissue sample from the cervix for closer examination under a microscope.
