What Does Lumps On A PAP Smear Mean?

Hi, i went to my doctor yesterday to get a pap smear. i did not get one last year becuase i have had good results on all my pap smears. yesterday she said it looked a little red with white blotches or bumps and that i needed to see a specialist. i am married and have a 3 year and have never had any issues. my mom had uteran cancer after i was born but i'm a little worried...what could this be???

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Little redness with white blotches looks like some inflammation or infection not necessarily related to cancer,wait for the report of pap smear then depending on report you can proceed for colposcopy if required.
Nothing to worry,Take care!
