CIN 3 and HPV

In March 2013 I had a regular smear test which came back with high risk HPV and mild dysplasia, I had a colposcopy and biopsy, with results stating I had CIN 1, on the 17th November 2013 I had my follow up colposcopy and smear test, today I got results which state I have severe dysplasia and have to have treatment in a few weeks, the Dr advised this is not cancer and she doesn't think it will be either. Just seeing whether anyone else has had these results and treatment and whether the treatment was successful, I am having treatment done under local anaesetic also- I also one day want to have children but today with these results this seems a long shot now, I am 28 years old and this has gutted me and hope that I could maybe get a bit of reassurance and advised of anyone going through the same thing.

    Hi Kayleigh, 

     

    Pleased to hear it all went smoothly and put your mind at rest. 

     

    Just wanted to chip in (for others reading this feeling worried) that a couple of years ago I had CIN3, remember seeing the word 'severe' on a letter and feeling very distressed. At my colposcopy appt I burst into tears when I arrived! 

     

    Anyway, I ended up going back for a LLETZ under general anaesthetic (they just said it would be more comfortable for me). It all went smoothly, the hospital staff were absolutely brilliant. I don't remember any pain or bleeding afterwards which was a pleasant surprise. 

     

    Had a follow up smear 6 months later which was normal, so now back on the 3 yearly smears. 

     

    So - if you're reading this feeling worried, please try not to! In the majority of cases this turns out to be quite a minor thing - simple treatment to keep you safe and healthy, then you can move on with your life :)
