Pap smear
Hi I got a Pap smear done through routine health check says negative for malignancy - what does the below mean though - any more testing to be done. HPV test says target not detected .
Smears studied show superficial squamous epithelial cells with intermediate squamous epithelial cells , occasional metaplastic squamous cells and endocervical cell clusters. Background shows few doderlein bacilli and neutrophils. Smears are negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy.
