If this is the reason I have to wait, I would gladly pay for the repeat pap to find out the cause. Do they really have to wait three months for the cells to repair , as they say, or is it more HMO related? Thanks for your reply.... Pam

Maybe you can help me to understand LSIL. I have read many e-mail messages and I am confused.

My daughter is 25 and has been getting abnormal pap results for the last year or so. Just today she first heard of LSIL. What exactly is it? why so many repeat paps? I am 41 and never heard of if.

My daughter is finally being referred to a GYN next week and I plan to go with her. Are there any questions we should ask? Is this related to cervical cancer? Is there treatment and a cure?

Please help we would like to better understand LSIL.

Thanks,
