LIQUID- BASED CYTOLOGY 液基薄層凃片
I've reviewed the attached Gynaecologic Cytology Screening Report (result.jpeg). Here is a clear explanation of the results.
### Overall Summary
**This is a completely normal and reassuring Pap smear (cervical screening) result. It shows no signs of cancer, pre-cancer, or infection.**
Here is a breakdown of each section:
* **General Categorization (檢驗結果分類):** **Within Normal Limits**
* **Meaning:** The cells collected from your cervix appear entirely normal.
* **Cellular Description (細胞項目):**
* **Satisfactory for evaluation:** The sample contained enough cells for the lab to give a reliable assessment.
* **No Dyskaryotic or Malignant Cells are seen:** **This is the most important finding.** It means there are **no pre-cancerous or cancerous cells** present.
* **No Endocervical cells...are seen:** The sample did not contain cells from the cervical canal. While their presence is ideal, their absence in an otherwise normal smear is common and not a cause for concern, especially in the context of the next finding.
* **Microorganisms (微生物項目):** No evidence of common infections like **Trichomonas** (a parasite) or **Monilia** (a yeast/fungal infection) was found.
* **Viral Changes (病毒項目):** No evidence of **Herpes** or **HPV (Human Papillomavirus)** infection was seen in the cells. This is a very good sign.
### Key Point: The Comment Section
* **Comments and Recommendations (註釋及建議):** **"Atrophic smear pattern. 表皮細胞萎縮"**
* **Meaning:** This describes a **normal, age-related change** in the cervical cells, typically associated with **lower estrogen levels**. It is most commonly seen in women who are:
* Post-menopausal.
* Breastfeeding.
* Using certain medications.
* **This is NOT a disease or a sign of cancer.** It simply means the cells appear thinner and less plump due to hormonal changes. The phrase "epidermal cell atrophy" is another way of stating this finding.
### Conclusion and Recommendation
* **Result:** **Normal.**
* **Action Required:** **None, for cervical screening.** This result does not indicate any need for further testing like a colposcopy.
* **Next Step:** You should continue with routine screening as recommended by your doctor or local health guidelines (e.g., every 3 years).
**However,** if you are experiencing symptoms like vaginal dryness, irritation, or pain, the "atrophic pattern" noted might be related. It would be a good idea to **discuss this finding with your doctor** at your next routine visit. They can provide advice or treatment options if the atrophy is causing any discomfort.
**Disclaimer:** This explanation is for informational purposes only. Always discuss your medical reports directly with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
