I am wondering if a female had a tampon
stuck in them and didn't know for about a
week, got it out, but had a pap smear
about 10 days after that if it could cause
an abnormal pap like the one mentioned
above
Thanks in advance

i have no idea... i have heard a couple of
different women on the forum saying they
have accidentally left tampons in for up
to a week but they were fine afterwards
(that's not to say it's recommended.....)
your doctor him/herself is the person to
ask.

It could be possible that the LSIL result
could be due to a mild cervical infection
from leaving a tampon in for that long.
However, HPV encompassing sounds like it
was caused from an HPV infection. I had
the same result a few years ago. The best
thing to do is to talk to your doctor
about your result and they will probably
suggest a repeat pap in 6 months to see if
your cervical cells have returned to
normal.
Thanks in advance
