I have learned a great deal in the last several days reading replies. Hope someone can suggest, specifically, what to do next?

51 yr old, no major health problems, annual exam( menopausal 5 yrs ) All prior Pap tests have been normal. Physical exam normal. Ultrsounds of kidneys & pelvic for backache last summer. Both NORMAL.

Diagnosis:

Satisfactory but limited by absence of an endocervical component. Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. Favor dysplasia

Hyperkeratosis

Comment: A keratinizing dysplasia is a possibility.

Read many other combinations but not exactly what the above states. I understand ASCUS is the abbreviation of the above and definitions individually for the other descriptive words. But I would like to understand the overall diagnosis better so I can make an "intelligent decision" on future treatment. Immediate? 6 months? etc.

I thank you in advance for your concern and insight.
