Remicade and abnormal papsmear results since Remicade started

[deesmurf1960]

Have any ladies on Remicade have abnormal papsmear ?

Never been on Remicade but have had an abnormal pap before. They usually do another test that's similar to a pap and remove a little more tissue to check for cancer and such. Its a bit more painful (forget the test name) and you'll likely have a little spotting after. Have you had the followup procedure I speak of?

yes, waiting for the results now.

Hi - I know this post is a bit old but I've had a world of trouble with abnormal paps and the remicade. I had to go in for 2 VEEPs and finally got off Remicade thinking it may be the culprit. Through research it is evident that females with Crohn's are more susceptible to abnormal paps. In the time I've been off remicade my paps went from great to once again abnormal...so I am looking at getting back on remicade again
