Really worried

So last year, I had my 3 yearly regular smear which shown HPV Positive and borderline changes, I went for a colposcopy where no treatment was done and they just wanted the smear repeated in 12 months. Fast forward to now, I had my smear about 3-4 weeks ago, popped in the drs this morning for my depo so I asked if any results were back, where she said yes they were uploaded to their system yesterday. Now it’s showing HPV positive again, with severe high grade changes. I’m so worried at such a huge change in the cells in 12 months!? Has anyone else had this?? I haven’t received any letter yet, she said the hospital are writing to me. I’m just so worried.

  • Hello

    Can't recall what year exactly, but I had cell changes at a smear test and then saw a specialist who said I  had HPV and it scared the xxxx out of me. The lady I saw was so matter of fact (in a good way) that I literally pulled my big girl pants on (because she told me too!) And that she could fix me. I had a laperoscopy after colposcopy and she basically zapped all the bad cells away and removed the HPV. I've had good smears ever since and  gone on to have my son. Doctors can do so much. Trust that they will help you. I wish you so much luck. Xx

  • Thanks Vicki, it's just hard not to worry and think the worse, especially with such a fast change in the cells going from borderline requiring no treatment to severe in a year! I was just curious if anyone else had had any similar experiences. 
    Im 29, I have had 3 children naturally. How did you find the laparoscopy? The nurse said today they will definitely be doing some kind of treatment so I presume this is what I will more than likely have. I haven't had any kind of bleeding since being on the injection I don't actually bleed apart from the odd spot when I go to the toilet from time to tkme, I don't bleed after sex however more recently I do find it quite uncomfortable however I have put this down to it being longer periods inbetween (my partner works away and is often tired, plus the honey moon period was over a long time ago) I say longer periods inbetween perhaps weekly (sorry for TMI!) I do get pretty much a constant dull belly ache like mild period pains but nothing I feel I need to take pain killers for. Xx

  • I was scared of the procedure but that's normal. Was told I'd be fine after I came to, but felt in pain and was given morphine, oxygen and a warm stream of air under my blanket and felt amazing shortly afterwards!! Stayed overnight. Gas gave me a bit of shoulder pain, but apart from that I was fine and recovered well. Laparoscopy is best thing as they can see everything that's going on and fix whatever needs fixing. 

    When do you find out what they are planning to do? Xx

  • Im not sure, when the letter comes I presume? The nurse only told me what notes she could see on the general GP screen so she said to await the letter but said they will definitely do some kind of treatment im just unsure what x
