What does a reactive cellular alteration in a pap smear mean?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Pap smear epithelial cell shape can alter as a result of inflammation brought on by an infection or another reason. As the name suggests, these alterations are a response to the inflammation. This happens frequently. Changes linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) vary and are also documented in different ways. You do not need to worry about this now; just finish your treatment and schedule another pap smear in four to six months.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
