can chlamydia cause abnormal cells in a pap smear test?

I have been having abdominal pain, cervical inflamation and pain, irregular bleeding and, lower back pain which can be symptoms of cervical cancer or chlamydia. I had a pap test done and it came back with abnormal cells. Im only 23 years old so i dont think i have cancer so i am hoping it is chlamydia since it is treatable.

sounds like it could be chlamydia, or maybe HPV. if your doctor didn’t discuss this with you it is disturbing. you can get cervical cancer at any age 23 especially if there is a history of it in your family. I have 3 articles you should check out and maybe one or all of the combined will help put your mind at ease. Seriously though — your doctor needs to follow up with you regarding this.
Cervical cancer is also very treatable depending on the stage it is caught. I guess it would be helpful to know exactly what the PAP results were. Usually if one were having these types of symptoms and they were related to cervical cancer then your pap would come back saying more then just "abnormal cells".
Did it say anything about the following:
Epithelial cell abnormality
Squamous intraepithelial lesion
Dysplasia
According to my knowledge these things would be listed on your pap if you have cervical cancer or even if you were beginning to develop cervical cancer. However, I know very little and I would assume there are things that could occur that would possibly make a pap not pick all of that up… it is just a screening tool.
Best wishes!
