Pap Smear?? |
I had an abnormal pap smear for the first time in my life when I was pregnant with my son who is now 3. I have gone every 6 months since then and all were normal. I go again in December and if its fine I go back just once a year. My question is, is it possible being pregnant with first child caused it to be abnormal? Anyone else ever had this. Thanx Abnormal Pap smear results are often explained by an infection or an inflammation. Yeast infections, herpes, trichomonas, recent sexual activity, or use of vaginal preparations, are often things which cause an abnormal Pap smear result. Did your doctor tell you what made it abnormal? Being pregnant is not one of the things that usually makes a pap abnormal. |
