The report shows that there is no evidence of malignancy (cancer). The findings in the report favors an infectious process with trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoniasis causing organism).
I would suggest that you take oral metronidazole for treatment of trichomoniasis and then have the test repeated.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
