hello wonderful VPers!
i am here once again for your advice...it's kind of two questions all rolled up into one worried bunch :(
 

 I posted a little while ago about a never ending yeast infection that had been driving me crazy for months on end.  Last week i had my first pap smear ever, and seeing as it's been an ongoing problem, i had them check me for yeast to make sure that's what it was and to see if i could finally kick it. Well, turns out, it's NOT yeast, or BV. My culture came back completely normal....so what does that mean? If i don't have an infection why do i have ridiculous amounts of chunky white discharge and a sore itchy vulva?
Then to make things even worse, my doctor called and told me my pap came back for "Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance". From everything I have read on here, i know that HPV is very common and I'm okay with the fact that i have it, even before my pap i always just assumed i had some strain of it because almost everyone does at some point, right? What I am worried about is, what does this mean? Does it mean I have early signs of cervical cancer? I looked up in VPs resources and found  this..."(ASCUS)Some squamous cells are present which aren't normal, but they may be due to inflammation [95-98%] or pre-malignant change[2-5%]..."  That made me feel a little better, but what kind of inflammation and what causes that? SHOULD i be worried? My doctor referred my to an OBGYN and said i should make the appointment soon. Are they just going to do another pap or should i be prepared for some crazy procedure?  Could the non -yeast- yeastiness be related to this at all? and what can i do to fix that in the meantime?

 

If anyone has been through this, i'm just looking for some advice and/ or reassurance and what to expect. Thanks so much in advance.
