abnormal pap?!
| Fri, 11-05-2004 - 11:16am |
Hello Ladies,
I just had my yearly a few weeks ago, and the dr wants me to come back in because she said the test was abnormal. She told me this was very common, but I am still freaked out!!! I have never ever had this happen, and I have been with the same person for 4 years.
I have another appointment for my IUD next month when I get my period, so I really hope this does not effect that.
anybody else ever have this, and what happens?!
thanks.

For the past three years my first pap has been normal. I was told that sometimes it can just be a change in the cells in your cervix causing the abnormality.
Best of luck to you. I hope this helped a little. D

There can be false positive pap results but even if you do have an abnormal condition most of the time it can be easily treated. Here are some links so articles about common cervical conditions. Abnormal Pap: What is Dysplasia?

An “unresolved abnormal pap smear” is a contraindication for insertion of a ParaGard IUD. There is nothing that specific that I found in the Mirena prescribing information but I would think your doctor would not want to proceed with either kind until your condition is resolved. I hope your retest is normal. Let us know how your second test goes and how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
