High grade (severe) dyskaryosis ... scared

Hi I received my smear results yesterday, it was my first ever one and I put off going for a year. Iv had the results of high grade (severe) dyskaryosis? I'm unsure what this means and starting to panic. The letter says they have requested an appointment for a colposcopy and I'm just scared and could do with a heads up on what to expect if anyone can help I would be so greatful. Thankyou

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious following your results yesterday. We know that many women are worried when they're told they have cell changes following cervical screening. I know we've many women who have posted here on the forum previously about their concerns and hopefully some of them will reply to share their experiences and offer you some reassurance. 

    You might like to have a look at this information on the Jo's Trust Website about cell changes and what happens at a colposcopy appointment. 

    Please do give our team of nurses a call if you're still worried. I'm sure they will be able to give you some information and reassurance ahead of your appointment. They'll be back in the office after the bank holiday weekend and are available on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm). 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,
