2nd Opinion after Smear test...

Hi, 

I had my routine smear test, never miss them! Been coming back normal or negative every time. I'm 39 and yesterday during my smear the nurse tells me she can see markings on my cervix. She said it's usually nothing, could be a polyp or cysts etc but she wants a second opinion from my GP just to be sure. 

I have really bad health anxiety and that has just made my brain go from 1 to 100!

Would love just some reassurance if anyone has gone through this. I have 3 young children home. I just can't stop thinking about the worst! 

My Dr's app isn't until next Thursday. 

Everyone always says the waiting is the worst!

  • Hi i just wanted to reassure you-  this sounds very similar to me, I’m 37 and usually always have normal results (apart from in my 20s i did have an abnormal one and had a colposcopy) but been normal for about 15 years. I had my smear a few weeks ago, and when the nurse saw my cervix, I told her to tell me if she saw anything unusual. So she did … she said it looked like I had a mark on it, could be nothing. She said it’s a red patch. Which worried me. But sh e also said this can be normal. Sometimes it just appears. And I will know more when I get my result. I got  my result after a couple of weeks and it was completely normal! ️

  • Thank you so much for replying! Everyone around me keeps telling me to stay off the Internet and forums but this is what I want to see, others who have been through similar experience letting us how normal it can be and not to always think the worse. 

    I'm glad your results were normal :) I'm hoping mine will be too x
