What Does A LGSIL Mean On A Pap Smear?
Question: hi what does a LGSIL mean on a pap smear? and is that something to worry about? I had gotten that result a year ago?
Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply
1. LGSIL stands for Low grade squamous intra epithelial lesion.
2. It means there are small and minor changes in cervix which might mimic a beginning stage of cancer development possibility.
3. You need to get another pap smear immediately.
4. Get colposcopy test done which effectively identify cancerous or precancerous zones in your cervix more accurately.
5. Discuss these reports with your gynecologist.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
