Answers:
Atypical cells are not cancer!. It just means you have cells that do not look normal!. Stage one means that the cells are in an early stage of looking abnormal or they almost look normal!. Atypical cells can be caused by a number of things including infection, inflammation, even aging and they often resolve themselves!. However, some cancers including cervical cancer can start in atypical cells!. Your doctor is just being cautious with your health as he or she should be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This is a procedure to make sure those cells are not cancerous!. They won't know until they are done if it is cancerous!. They will inspect the cervix for any signs of HPV and take a sample of the affected area!. Sometimes for this, all you need is medication if it is just inflammation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Stage one atypical cells will not give you any trouble at the moment but are best gotten rid of before they get worse and do give you problems!. Pap smears are intended to catch problem cells before they make you ill!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
