Colposcopy results

Pap smear showed atypical aquamous cells of undetermined significance. This was followed by HPV testing. Result was hpv66. Colposcopy diagnoses was cn1. Do I wait for a repeat smear in 3 months or get cells removed? Can cn1 convert to cn2 if I don't get it treated immediately?

    Have you asked your doctor these questions? They'd have the best answer for you.

    Every one offers their two cents worth but wanted to know from someone who has had an abnormal pap result recently

    I am not a doctor, but a specialist cannot, with certainty, know what will happen in the near future, but there are parameters that they normally follow in order to cover any negative outcome. In this case in particular, you should follow up with your gynecologist.

    Now, the hpv66 is normally diagnosed by a Pathologist, and this is quite accurate, which means you carry the HPV virus.

    Hear my warnings, unbelievers. We have raised altars in this land so that we may sacrifice you to our gods. There is no hope in opposing the inevitable. Put down your arms, unbelievers, and bow before the forces of Chaos!

    Having suffered from a disease does not magically qualify you to give medical prognosis on it. Being a qualified medical professional does (but without the magic). There are too many other unknown factors in your individual case for anybody here to give any meaningful advice.

    Speak to your doctor. If you want a second opinion, speak to a second doctor.

    Annnnd Jam Warrior's advice is probably the best you will get so I'm locking this thread.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
