Smear test result

Good morning,

I have received my smear test result and I am HPV positive with low-grade dyskaryosis. I am due for a colposcopy on May. I am very worried and anxious about it. I had a vaginal bleeding after intercorse before doing my smear test and I am thinking about the worst. 

  • Hello Teresa87 and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    Try not to worry too much - it can be a bit frightening to discover that you have abnormal cells but this is something that is easily treatable and for which many ladies on here have had successful treatment. You can find out more about cervical screening results on this page.

    Our section on abnormal cervical cells will hopefully answer all your questions and reassure you on what to expect. You can also read more about the colposcopy on this page and I hope this information will help you prepare for your appointment in May. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with our nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Do mention to them that you have had vaginal bleeding after intercourse before your smear test and that you were anxious about this. 

    I hope it all goes well for you and that you will hear from other members of the forum who have been through all this before.

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
