What is atypical squamous epithelial cells?

Patient's question:

I had a TCT test during a gynecological examination on September 21, 2005. The results were as follows: Sample satisfaction: Satisfactory, Cellularity > 40, Endocervical cells: None, Metaplastic cells: None, No trichomoniasis infection, No fungal infection, No herpes infection, No HPV infection. Diagnosis: Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US). How should I face such test results? How should it be treated? What kind of disease is it? Please reply to me!!

Doctor's answer:

Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), which is part of the TBS diagnostic system, is the first level of cervical pre-cancerous lesions, the mildest level, corresponding to normal cervical biopsies or CIN1-2. Although not very serious, it should be taken seriously and treated promptly. Bacterial vaginosis is suspected, indicating a shift in the flora.
