Abnormal Pap Smear scaring my sister-in-law?

Ok, my sister-in-law is 16, she just had her first pap smear and it came back abnormal. Her mother told me that they have to do a uterus biopsy.
WTF?!?!
I have never heard fo this. She is telling her that she is going to be in excurshiating pain. Now I have heard of cervix biopsys, but uterus?!?!

I told my sister-in-law that I would research stuff on it for her to ease her mind, her mother told me NOT to.

Now she is terrified of this procedure because her mom has filled her head with stuff that is not true to my knowlegde.

Uterus biopsy after ONE abnormal pap?? Has anyone else ever heard of this?

Keep in mind this is because of my sister-in-laws FIRST pap results.

I need a lot of info on this because I am not going to let my sister-in-law be scared of getting paps for the rest of her life because of this.

I am 23 and have had my regualr paps, and I have NEVER heard of this before!

PLEASE HELP!

Are you sure her mother has her facts straight? It is possible for a uterine biopsy to be preformed, however I am like you and think it's a cervical biopsy. I would have the girl call the doctor and ask what kind of biopsy is going to be preformed. If they were going to do a uterine biopsy it would be because they think there is something going on inside the uterus. However, this is NOT standard procedure after a bad pap.

i wouldn't worry to much about an abnormal pap smear. there are certain levels of abnormal pap smears and her obgyn would have informed her of having it retested within a couple of months. she could have HPV (if she's sexually active) and that could make it abnormal too.
