Hi I got an abnormal Pap smear result that was sent to me on Friday right before my OBGYN office closed so I could not call, I am a hypochondriac, and won’t be able to call until Tuesday due to Labor Day weekend (quite literally the worst timing for this to appear in my MyChart) So ! I beg of someone to ease my mind (or just be real)
My result says:
Interpretation: EPCA,ASUSB ! EPITHELIAL CELL ABNORMALITY. ATYPICAL SQUAMOUS CELLS OF UNDETERMINED SIGNIFICANCE (ASC-US).
Category: ASC-US ! Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance
And then at the end it just has “flag: abnormal !”
Does this mean I may have HPV? Should I be worried about cervical cancer? Could this affect my fertility?
Also for the record: I have no family history of cervical cancer but had an abnormal yeast infection about three months ago and recently had reoccurring UTI’s (which was concerning me) , but treated with antibiotics and finally went away about a month ago. All of this was weird to me because I had never had a yeast infection or UTI in my life and then suddenly all of that happened…. Is that weird
I am very much freaking out….. submitted by /u/Apprehensive-Sky8303
