HPV and Low-grade dyskaryosis

Hey ladies, 

I've received smear test result letter today as well which advised that I'm HPV positive with low grade dyskaryosis. 

I am a little confused  and I was wondering if anyone else is a similar case to mine or if they asked the question to the nurse/doctor who performed your colposcopy.

My previous smear test was in 2019 and was negative but this one (done in the beginning of April 2022) came back not only positive but also with low grade dyskaryosis'. So I keep wondering how a result can change in those 3 years when nothing has changed in that space of time  for me as I've been to a monogamous and very committed relationship for the past 17 years... 

I'm a 40 year old, healthy and very active individual. 

Thank you ladies!

    Hello,

    I am in the same boat, Low grade dyskaryosis and of course i am HPV positive.

    I was told on my first smear i was HPV then after a year you are then checked again but they check for dyskaryosis on the 2nd yearly test.

    I had my colposcopy this last Tues and it looks like my cell changes are actually worse than we thought.

    I have been told when my biospys come back i will have to have treatment regardless, the Dr just wants to see how bad it is.
