Note: cervical cytology is a screening test and has associated with false negative and false positive results. Regular sampling and follow up is recommended.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The test results indicate - the sample taken was enough, the area seen on the papsmear appeared normal (normal in morphology). No cancer cells were seen.
The area was inflamed (irritated) , this is the reason for the neutrophils which are a marker for infection, are found.
Summary: no cancer seen but possible infection
I hope this helps
