What Should You Do if You Have an Abnormal Pap Smear?
If you receive an abnormal Pap smear result, it's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. This may involve:
Repeat Pap smear to monitor changes over time. HPV testing to determine if high-risk HPV types are present. Colposcopy to closely examine the cervix and take biopsies if necessary. Biopsy to diagnose the extent and nature of abnormal cells.
