Sometimes after menopause or when breast feeding there are 'atrophic changes' in the cervix, caused by decreased hormone levels. If your Pap smear result is 'atrophic' you may be given some local oestrogen treatment (for example, oestrogen cream) and asked to have the Pap smear repeated in three months.
