Abnormal pap smear results?

At my annual exam in January, my results came back abnormal.  I had a colposcopy (biopsy of the cervix, with a magnifying glass thing looking at it), and the results of that were normal.  I had to repeat my pap in April; results abnormal again.  Had another colposcopy, but this time they biopsied 3 parts of my cervix (yeah, ouch).  Results?  Freakin' NORMAL!  So I have another repeat pap in July!  I'm happy the results were normal, but I'm getting tired of shelling out $200 that we do not have.

 Anyone ever had repeat abnormal pap results?

Re: Abnormal pap smear results?

  • I've had three colopscopys, the result of three abnormal paps, though not that close together.  And I know it's annoying, and painful, but just keep in mind- it is better to keep getting normal, detailed results than to NOT look into it and have it turn into something else.  Cervical cancer is a really unique, predictable, curable cancer if it's caught early- it's worth the extra effort to be on top of it!

  • Thanks!  I figure we'll just have to plan for the cost of the inevitable 3rd biopsy in July. Smile 

    And kudos on the Eels song.  Love them!
