Is ASCUS a disease?

ASCUS is not a disease; ASCUS is a pap smear result. It means that the cells on the cervix did not appear entirely normal, but they also did not appear to be precancerous cells. Depending on factors like age, history, and other test results, your health care provider will recommend a course of retesting or additional testing.


Do you need to be overly concerned about a pap test revealing Atypical squamous cells of undefined origin?

An ASCUS result on a pap isn't a cause for great concern. You only need to make sure that you follow up with repeat testing as scheduled.


What does ASCUS negative for high risk HPV mean?

A pap smear result of ASCUS negative high risk HPV means that the cells on your cervix couldn't be called normal, but didn't have changes that suggested precancerous lesions either. A follow up test for high risk HPV types on the cervix was done. The test did not find these high risk (cancer causing) types of HPV. Based on this combination of test results, along with your age and history, your health care provider will recommend follow up testing.

What are the stages of cervical dysplasia in terms that i can understand like i know ascus is the first stage whats the next and how many stages are there i have a few lesions and need a cylosopy?

ASCUS is not a stage of dysplasia; it's a reading on a pap smear, which is a screening test for cervical cancer. A screening test is a simple, noninvasive test to determine what patients need further testing. During a colposcopy, the clinician will typically take biopsies to determine the stage of dysplasia. A pap smear cannot provide that information. See related link for more information about cervical cancer screening and colposcopy.
