“What should I expect during my cytopathology follow up?”
I am a 24-year-old woman and my doctor asked that I come in after he got my pap results. What should I expect during my cytopathology follow up?

Yes, the pap smear will find the growth of abnormal squamous cells which are the cell lining type of the cervix. There are five distinct categories, and they are atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS cells), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H), and atypical granular cells (AGC). Thank you.
