Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She may have cancer. However with inflammation it is very difficult to say confidentely on pap test. Because inflammation causes atypia and regenerative changes. So she should go for cervical biopsy to search exact cause.
Then she should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
