The Pap test is a screening test that checks for cell changes in the cervix, the opening of the uterus. If your Pap results were abnormal, you may be worried. But there is no reason to panic. An abnormal Pap test result can mean many things. It may be due to changes (inflammation) caused by normal cell repair or infection. Or you may have a problem that could become cervical cancer. If so, know that early stages of cervical cancer tend to progress slowly. That's why it's so important to have Pap tests as often as directed. Pap tests can show cell changes in the cervix early, when treatment is most effective.
