Cin3

Hello ladies

Im going around in circles in my head, and came to this forum to see if anyone can shed any light 

The other week i attended hospital for a smear test on the back of a 111 call I made for some symptoms I've been getting , such as pelvic pain, lower back ache ,hip pain and some shooting pains in what seems My vagina 

I was asked to go to for a colposcopy , at the colposcopy the nurse examined me ,put some solution that I can only explain as a vinegar solution on and had a look in my cervix , a smear was taken only and no biopsys as far as I'm aware. 

A few weeks have gone past and I received my results earlier last week , my smear has shown 

High grade dyskaryosis cin3 and have been asked to go for a loop procedure,

For the last however many days , because I have a very severe anxiety disorder I've convinced myself that I have cancer of the cervix.

I've spoken to  two doctors, macmillan nurse and the hospital themselves who took my smear test and they are all telling me I do not have cancer ,  I understand my severe anxiety is playing havoc , but everywhere I look on Google and forums I'm getting increasingly more scared because some women are reporting having CIN3 and after the leep procedure they are waiting on results again

I'm at a total loss what to think , and have never been so confused in my life , can anybody please explain to me what exactly is going on.

 

  • Hello, 

    I hope you're well?

    I totally understand your worries as I'm currently experiencing the same problem. My tests a year ago showed mild dyskaryosis and following 12 months repeat smear test last month I just received my results and a hospital letter stating it's high grade severe dyskaryosis now and it will require a treatment. I have to arrange my hospital appointment tomorrow and it's the only thing that been on my mind. Disappointed and and upset as tried to live healthier last year,quit smoking (cervical cancer often depends on a lifestyle) but none of that helped. I also had covid last August which I blame on weakening my immune system. Not sure what to expect and what the outcome will be now x
