• What is LSIL?

My OB-GYN just told me that my pap smear indicated an LSIL result and wants me to now have a colposcopy if my next PAP comes back abnormal. What does LSIL typically mean?

LSIL-This is an abbreviation for Low grade Intraepithelial lesion associated with abnormal pap test. It is a screening test and much as it may be worrisome, it neest to be taken in context. It is followed by colposcopy by recommendation guidelines.

There are grades to the appearance of cells taken at PAP smear. LSIL: suggestive of a low-grade lesion, alone or coexisting with a worse lesion. All depends on one's medical history, presence or absence of Hi Risk HPV, any previous treatments; sometimes one will wait 3-6 months for the next PAP smear and determine what to recommend.
