Pap Results -- "low Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesi

"Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion encompassing HPV/ mild dysplasia"

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 Question 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.
