How Do You Treat an Abnormal Pap Smear?
An abnormal pap smear can include a wide range of results. Further diagnosis and treatment depends on the initial result, as well as your prior pap smear results. Your physician should follow the evidence-based guidelines of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) when determining further diagnostic and treatment procedures.
For low-grade abnormalities, your physician will recommend either continued routine screening, more frequent screening, or a colposcopy. A colposcopy may include a cervical biopsy, which is done in the office and does not require anesthesia. Further testing is dependent on the results of your colposcopy, and may include continued routine screening, more frequent screening, or possible treatment of the abnormal cells. If there is concern for cancer or inevitable progression to cancer, then you may referred to another physician, specifically a Gynecologic Oncologist.
It is important to follow the recommendations of your physician to ensure that any abnormalities are treated appropriately to prevent long-term complications.
