Pap smears abnormal?

Y

Hey yall so today I had a virtual dr appointment because I'm going to have the mirena removed due to ttc. Well long story short I havent been seen since after the day I had the IUD put after the post partum from my last kiddo in 2016. Doctor questioned me why I never came out when my pap smear came back abnormal? I have no idea about anything and they didnt let me know about the results so. Can someone help me out of what does this mean? should be scared? I'm so confused and blown away at the same time they didnt contact me at all to tell me about it and I know I too an to blame for not getting checked annually. Can anyone share your experience and walk me through what's going to be happening next? TIA

I had 2 come back abnormal before. I had to have a colposcopy done once and everything came back fine. The other that came back abnormal but was within an ok range so I didn't have yo have any other tests done. Sometimes if it's right after your period it can cause the test results to come back abnormal.

You definitely want to follow up with your doctor about this. I had an abnormal pap and had to be monitored for a few years to make sure the HPV went away. It went away on it’s own after a couple of years, thank goodness. But left unchecked, it could turn into cervical cancer. You are probably fine, but nobody can tell you for sure except your doctor.

It’s different for everyone. You can’t go off one persons story.
