Can Bacterial Growth From A UTI Lead To Abnormal Cell Growth?

I just had my first abnormal pap smear and now I am going back for a colposcopy because I have high grade abnormal cells. A year and a half ago I was dating this guy who took my vibrator and put it up his butt hole and stuck it back inside of me. I freaked out and made him stop immediately. A few days later I was treated for a UTI but I never told them what happened because I was so embarrassed. My last pap smear was the summer of 2009, after the incident, and it came back normal. I guess my question is if bacteria from that could be causing my abnormal cells?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Urinary tract infection is caused due to pathogenic bacteria invading the mucosa of urinary tract. it can be effectively controlled and cured by taking appropriate antibiotics.
This has nothing to do with the abnormal cells observed in PAP smear examination. PAP smear would tell the mucosal status and changes taking place in the cervix.
Kindly get evaluated and treated accordingly by getting the necessary investigations, as advised.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
