Had Mirena replaced. Having period, not heavy. Pap smear shows low grade abnormalities. Cancer?
Patient: I have been using a Mirena now for almost 10 years... yes I replaced 5 years ago.... since i had the new one in 3 1/2 years ago.... I had the occasional period that last about 4 days this continued for about 3 months I was put on medication then my period stopped, stomach cramps , but the period it is not heavy.... is this normal....I have again started with a period again and no it is not heavy.....I had a recent pap smear (4 weeks ago)and they found Ihad low grade abnormalities ..... does this mean anything serious.... (like cancer ) Doctor: Hi,  low grade abnormality does not signify anything, proper pathology report you have to mention. there may be high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or low grade intraepithelial lesion. management will differ. consult your gynaecologist. take care.
