Advice needed- first smear test

Hi everyone 

I am 26 and I went for my first smear test a couple of days ago. The nurse wasn't able to do the smear test as she says there there is a polyp on my cervix. I have to go back for the doctors on Tuesday to see a GP to see how urgent the referral to the hospital needs to be 

 

I am really anxious and scared as I wasn't expecting this at all. I haven't had any symptoms but think it the worst already. Any advice would be really appreciated 

thank you

    I can understand you’re worried having had this happen, but try not to overthink things at this stage. 

    Some people have symptoms from a polyp, and some don’t, but they are normally benign and removed in a minor op as a day case.  It won’t really be possible for you to know any more until you are referred to see a gynaecologist unfortunately, so I hope you won’t have long to wait for this. x
