SQUAMOUS METAPLASTIC CELLS in PAP smear. Is HYSTERECTOMY needed?

Resolved question:
My wife 44 yrs Pap smear report shows few squamous metaplastic cells and it diagnised negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy. Her USG Pelvis (TVS) shows tiny nabothian cysts in cervix. She has vaginal itching, sometimes whitish discharge from the vagina, irregular menstruation, feeling of tiredness, sweat smells bad. But no burning while urinating, No spotting and pain after intercourse. Blood and ECG report is normal.fluconazole side effect shows a red rash on the forefinger.
Is she a hysterectomy necessary? Frequent itchines made her unwell. Clotrimazole Vaginal Suppositor experience relief for sometime from itching. Burning sensation when she apply Lobate-GM. Please advise.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I can see no reason for a hysterectomy.
Irregular menstruation is common at the age of 44, as this is perimenopausal.
Tiredness etc is also quite common.
She should get the following workup -
1. Colposcopy for the cervix.
2. Vaginal swab for diagnosing vaginal infection.
3. Thyroid and blood sugar levels.
She should be treated for the itching according to the culture and swab.
Drink lots of water.
For irregular periods, cyclical progesterone therapy can be started.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
Regards.

I am afraid. plz help.

Hello,
Since she had side effects to fluconazole, she should not take it again.
The alternative medications can be decided based on the vaginal swab result, you can upload that to me.
Also, there is no risk of cancer, as all her reports are normal.
Relax, and dont worry.
Regards.

Thank you Doctor. But she has had a sore/geographical like tongue for the past 6 years. It comes and goes. It becomes worst when she use hot and spicy or extremely acidic foods. I have uploaded a picture of her tongue.
Doctor is there any relation with her vaginal itchiness and her tongue infection.
Please suggest me and give some medication for her vaginal itchiness.


Expert:  Dr. Aarti Vazirani replied 1 Day.

Geographical or sore tongue commonly occurs in reaction to spicy and irritant foods, it is best to avoid it.
Also, taking a multivitamin capsule such as Cap. A to Z will help.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is amust.
There is no corelation between vaginal itching and geographical tongue.
I cannot presribe any medication without a vaginal swab, as only that will confirm the type of infection.
Regards.
