Save. The length of time it takes the Internal Revenue Service to process a return, send a refund or apply a payment depends on several conditions, including the filing and refund delivery methods.

Abnormal Pap Test - Cause. Most abnormal Pap tests are caused by HPV infections. Other types of infection-such as those caused by bacteria, yeast, or protozoa (Trichomonas)-sometimes lead to minor changes on a Pap test called atypical squamous cells.
Occasionally a Pap report can indicate infection with yeast or bacteria, and possibly even atrophic (tissue-thinning, etc.) vaginal changes from low estrogen in menopause. These findings are unrelated to HPV and cervical cancer. The scale of abnormal Pap test results ranges from slightly atypical to major cellular changes. If needed, HPV testing/typing can be added to the Pap test analysis. Some women ask for this with their Pap test before anything abnormal is found, but the guidelines are still evolving.
