Colposcopy

S-J

I have received a letter regarding my smear test it says I am HPV Positive and have borderline cell changes. I am nearly 47 and this is the first time my smear has been abnormal. They referred me on 17th February for a colposcopy I haven't heart heard anymore so I called the hospital and they said I have been put on a waiting list and my appointment won't be until April maybe May. Do you think this is a long time to wait? I know when I have found breast lumps I have been seen within 2 weeks...

  • Hello S-J,

    Waiting times can differ for all sorts of reasons, but hopefully you'll get a date for your appoitntment soon. You can read about the colposcopy test here and possible next steps after cervical screening results here, which I hope will help you feel more informed. Try not to worry. Whether you're waiting for appointments or results, these tips here can be useful.

    Best wishes to you,
