Pap smear results
I am 45. I had normal pap smear and found clue cells. Clue cells are cells from vagina. As the vaginal cells are also tested does it mean I dont have vaginal cancer? Or I need some separate tests for vaginal cancer

Hi good morning
Thnxs for your question
Don't worry
PAP smear is screen test for cervical cancer not for vagina caner.
For vaginal cancer biopsy is needed.
In ur case it's vaginal infection. That will treat with medicine.
Consult Gynecologist for further treatment plan

Hi, your pap smear indicates bacterial vaginismus by gram variable bacilli. Do not worry for cancer, there is no cancer in vagina, but get treated for bacterial vaginismus.
