Recent smear results

I had my latest smear on the 8th December and received a text to say I have an appointment on the 28th of this month. I haven't gotten a letter yet as there have been postal strikes. I am so concerned as I've had abnormal smears and hpv positive results in the past. I'm just really worried as that is a quick turn around from my smear to now having an appointment at hospital

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    This must be such a confusing time for you and it does look like you know about the appointment before the letter came through to tell you why you needed it.

    It could be that you have HPV and you could have an abnormal screening result, however to know exactly why you need a colposcopy clinic appointment you will either get the letter before it , or have to wait for the appointment or you could try calling the clinic who may be able to tell you more about your situation. 

    I hope you know more soon.Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
