There are many kinds of abnormal pap smears. The point of the pap smear is the detection of abnormal, precancerous cells on the cervix. Occasionally, other abnormalities are found. If you're worried about your pap smear result, ask your health care provider for more information about your specific case. Some abnormalities require only routine followup in three to five years; others require other types of testing done within months of the smear. Some health care providers want to talk about any kind of abnormality face-to-face, and others will only talk about very serious problems in such a discussion. If you're worried, and your appointment isn't in the next couple of days, ask your health care provider to give you some information over the phone.

The pap smear picks up on abnormalities in the cells while the ultrasound can see if anything looks like it shouldn't.

Ultrasounds are not the easiest to see the small differences in.
