Question about recent pap smear?

Question

I recently went to the dr. because i was having stomach discomfort, and pains. I had just had my period a week before, so i knew it wasn't that. He did a pap smear, and said I had a few dark spots on cervix? He also did a stomach x- ray and said everything else looked okay. Does anybody know what that could be? I cant get into the dr. until sept. 26th. so that's still over a month away, And i'm worried.

Answer 1

Not sure if you're sexually active but if you are this could be HPV. Call your doctor's office and ask if your STD panel specifically your HPV test came back positive, and that will tell you from there. If it's negative then maybe you should call your insurance and ask for a referral to another doctor so you can get a second opinion and maybe they can get you in sooner.

If your doctor did not do these tests then you can call the doctors office again and complain because they are required to do those tests when doing a pap smear.

Either way it's not going to grow drastically or get worse in just a month so that should be ok.

Hope for the best.

take care hun

Answer 2

Not to scare you but spots usually mean you will need to have some of your cervix removed to be tested for cancer. But the good part is if it is anything they can treat it head on.  

Answer 3

Well the worst thing it could be is cervical cancer.  But even if that is the case, try not to worry too much until you find out.  I bet it really isn't anything that serious, so the best thing to do is just live your normal life until you find out, and try to relax.
