Thoughts after having LLETZ

After treatment a couple of days ago, im just sat worrying about the results. It can take up to 6 weeks for the results for what they removed to come back. Has anyone had results quicker? They are saying CIN2 but said that the results will confirm this. I just cant stop thinking about it :-( If the results are worse, will i be contacted quicker? 

Also, follow up appointment for smear in 6 months, this will be to check no abnormal cells have come back (fingers crossed), does this mean the HPV will hopefully have gone as well? Or will i have that forever? So worried and confused at the moment. 

  • Hello JoJo2022

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious whilst waiting for your treatment results. We know that for many people this can be a difficult time of uncertainty and unanswered questions. 

    Hopefully the results won't take too long to come back and they will be able to offer you some reassurance about things. In the meantime, if you'd like to chat with our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.  I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and information that they can to help you through the next few weeks. 

    Best wishes,
