Cervical stenosis

I  am post menopause and since having a cin3 result and positive hpv I have had two Letz procedures. I have been for a smear and now have cervical stenosis ( so no sample could be taken at this time).

I'm really nervous  now as have too go back to my consultant!

    thank you Naomi, I am just slightly confused as to why i need a further smear, the smear is not going to determine the severity of the cells, surely I need a colposcopy for this? my consultant said to do that he would need to put me under anaesthetic, so his solution was to have another smear and if cells come back abnormal again then we go straight for another letz.  I got an appointment for 4 weeks which is not too much of a wait.

    Hello, and thank you for coming back to us.

    I am afraid I am unable to answer this in further detail as we are not part of your care.

    Whilst we can offer general support and information, it can be hard for us to know why all decisions are made.

    Be assured that the doctor will be making decisions based always on what is the best course of action within a given individual situation.

    Take care, and I do hope this all becomes clearer and is sorted for you soon.

    Sarah.
