ASC-H? What do you know just about it?

I just have an abnormal pap audition result and find myself now labeled next to ASC-H... which my dr explained means "exceptional squamous cells and cannot exclude giant grade squamous epithelial lesions"... what does that plan in human lingo? I'm going for a test.. lol.. a long c word which is where on earth they use the microscope and light me up... after they paint my cervix to bring back a better look, but it's 2 weeks away and I'm wondering what the heck ASC-H means.. when I try to rummage for it, all I gain are really involved medical journals..
Can anyone translate it into nonmedical communicate for me? I'm going to ask Curry she is a professional nurse am sure she will have the correct answer.
Edit: Wildflower here the info., hope it help

Hi Lulu,
GYN is defnitely not my area of expertise, but my sensitive is that that's a term classification she has some extraordinary cells of the cervix that want to be examined more thoroughly to determine whether any are pre-cancerous, usually done by a procedure called a colposcopy. It's probably too rash in the process to know if she have anything to be worried about, plu I believe this is rather routine any time there's any changes noted on a PAP try-out. Ibelieve it's mainly done to rule out any majorproblmes. I will try to see if I can find out anything more specific and consent to you know.
Are you going for a colposcopy? Squamous cells are a type of skin cell, and epitelial refers to a layer of skin/tissue. Basically (I'm guessing here) the ASC-H refers to cell that are either pre-cancerous/cancerous, or cell that indicate the presence of HPV (human papilloma virus).
Good luck...I hope everything turns out well for you!
