Gynaecology Referral after smear test

3 weeks ago I went for a routine smear test. The nurse said she was concerned about a raised red area on my cervix and wanted a second opinion from a doctor. 
I saw the doctor 5 days later who was also concerned and referred me to a gynaecologist. 
my appointment is in 2 weeks time. However I still haven't had my smear test results. 
should I be worried that I've been referred and got an appointment with a gynaecologist before my smear test results have been received??

  • Hello FutureJackson and thanks for posting, 

    I can appreciate that being sent for an urgent gynaecology appointment is unsettling but very often these urgent referrals are done to be on the safe side and rule anything serious out.  

    This raised red area needs to be investigated so I don't think being referred before your smear result is a reason to worry. I expect your doctor wants a specialist to examine you to be sure. 

    I hope you find out more soon and that everything is ok.
