Following an ASC-US result, a healthcare provider may recommend several follow-up actions:
Repeat Pap Smear: Another Pap test may be done in 6 to 12 months to monitor any changes in the cervical cells. HPV Testing: Testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), especially high-risk types, can help determine if there is a higher risk of cervical cancer. Colposcopy: This is a more detailed examination of the cervix, often done if HPV testing is positive or if there are other concerning symptoms.
