Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
This result indicates mild infection and nothing abnormal about it. Pap smears are done for screening purposes to rule out any malignant changes occurring in the cervix. If dysplastic or malignant cells are detected, it is reported as abnormal pap smear. Further confirmatory tests are done to rule out malignancy.
Thanks.
