Hello! Last summer (2022) during a smear test a nurse said she would refer me to the clinic because I had cervical erosion. In September 2022 when I arrived at the clinic the doctor said I was at the wrong one and said I had a polyp to remove but he had no equipment to remove it he then examined me and said that he would treat cervical erosion and see me back in 4 months and as I had a normal smear test result everything should resolve itself after this treatment. I’ve only received my call back appointment yesterday (over a year longer than 4 months) only to be told that I should have been referred to a colposcopy clinic and I now have a lesion and a polyp. Am waiting now again for an urgent appointment to have polyp removed and for them to check cells on my cervix.
im terrified. Did the last doctor miss something important and now I’ve been sitting for a year letting something grow?
what is a lesion is it the same as erosion or is it something different? All previous smear tests have been normal.
thank you
