As one of the best pap smear screening doctors in New York, Dr Steven R Goldstein MD evaluates females who have received abnormal pap smear results. An abnormal pap smear doesn’t mean the patient should jump to conclusions. An abnormal pap smear simply means there has been a change in the cervical cells. The reason for the change in cervical cells can be infection, inflammation, changes in the menstrual cycle, or in some cases pre-cancerous or cancerous cells. Current guidelines state that women should have their first pap test at age 21 and have one every two years. However, Dr Goldstein strongly recommends women have a Pap Smear exam done annually to help detect the presence of any cervical cancer cells early and prevent the need for aggressive treatment. This routine, painless examination performed by Dr Goldstein checks the changes in the cells of the cervix and is the best test for identifying abnormal, cancerous and pre-cancerous cells. It is important to note that not all pap smear abnormalities lead to cancer. At times changes in the menstrual cycle or a change in cervical cells caused by infection or inflammation can lead to abnormal results. In some cases pre-cancerous or cancerous cells may be the cause. In these cases Dr Goldstein will carefully review your case and determine if further tests are needed or if necessary advise of the best available non-invasive treatment options available to you.
If you are in need of a pap smear or have had a pap smear with abnormal results, then contact Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD, one of the best pap smear screening doctors in New York.
