Some more common symptoms of hypothyroidism include the following: 1  Weight gain. 2  Fatigue. 3  Muscle weakness or stiffness. 4  Dry or cold skin. 5  Heavy or irregular menstrual periods. 6  Constipation. 7  Elevated blood cholesterol level.
If the pap is negative for these 2 types, then we simply repeat the pap and retest the high risk HPV in one year. If the pap is positive for the type 16 or 18, we take a closer look at the cervix with a procedure called a colposcopy. This scenario of a normal pap smear that is unexpectedly positive for high risk HPV seems to be the most confusing and upsetting to our patients.
1 If your Pap test is normal and/or you have a negative HPV test, then you do not have to have a Pap test every year. 2  For women 21-29 years old: A Pap test every three years is sufficient. Women over 30 years old should be tested for HPV if possible when they have a Pap test. 2  The combination of Pap test and HPV test results can allow less frequent screening in some women over 30.
