Just because you have abnormal cells from a pap does this mean you will get cancer?

No. Having abnormal cells show up on a pap smear does not mean you will get cancer.However, abnormal cells can sometimes be a precursor to cancerous cells, and for that reason, it is very important to continue to get regular pap smears so that your healthcare provider can track any further changes in the characteristics of these cells, and if cancer does develop, hopefully catch it at a very early stage.

Can you get pregnant if you have an abnormal pap?

You can get pregnant with an "abnormal" pap.It would possibly be in your best interrest to have a follow up test first and possibly removal of the few cells that causes the test to be "abnormal".The Pap smear test detects changes in the cervix, which may become cancer. However, having an abnormal Pap smear test result does not necessarily mean you have or will get cervical cancer. This is especially true for women who follow their doctor's recommendations for when to have the Pap smear test.A thin layer of tissue, composed of cells, covers the cervix. As cervical cells develop, the cells on the bottom layer move to the surface of the cervix. Sometimes, during cellular development, cervical cells may become damaged or abnormal. When this occurs, these cells develop in an abnormal way and sometimes require removal to prevent cervical cancer from developing.
