    Pap smear results
    My ob gyn just called me back and told me that I had A-Typical cells in my pap smear. She said that she looked back at my previous pap smears and they all came back fine so they consider this one a normal pap. She said I could have had some bacteria that showed up on the pap smear. She I insist that she re-do the pap smear in about 6 months or does that sound right what she told me

    That is perfectly correct and is the standard of care for this result.
