Q: Gyno Results Question-scared

Hey ladies, I know that a month or so ago I posted about being scared about my first gyno appt. Well, I went in the beginning of jan and the Dr. Did a pap smear. First of all, i'm a virgin, only fooled around with my guy but we've been in at least underwear everytime so it hurt so bad! I know that there is no way I can be pregnant because we've never had sex or even genital to genital contact. However, my pap results came back abnormal. I'm not sure what that means and i've got to go back in march for another pap. My mom said that it's vrey normal for women to get abnormal results but I can't stop thinking that something is wrong with me.

I got my period about 2 days after I went, could that have something to do with the abnormal results? That is the only thing I could think of that would be wrong.

Please give me some advice because i'm scared and have no idea what is going on. Thanks

Your mom was right. Now if your boyfriend has ever penetrated you with his finger, he could have introduced some germs that have given you a yeast infection. My mom used to tell me..Make sure he washes his hands. At most an abnormal pap smear just means that you need to see the doctor to try and find out why the test was abnormal. I have accually have had the pre-stages of cervical cancer. Believe me when you have a runny white discharge and a very foul odor then you should start getting worried. Just go back to the doctor and find out what's wrong, you may get a script for antibiotics. Hope this helped.

A yeast infection wouldn't give you abnormal results; when you get an "abnormal" pap smear, that means something in the cervical cells they collected is abnormal. Since you're a virgin, it isn't hpv (human pappiloma virus). Hpv is the most common reason for having abnormal results. In your case, I wouldn't be too worried. There may be some slight abnormalities in your cervical cells to make the test come back the way it did. It also could be absolutely nothing; the next pap smear you get in march will help determine if the results were correct or not. I really wouldn't worry about it, hun. Like your mom said, lots of women have abnormal results, and in this case, it could be a complete mistake.
