Hi, I had a smear in October 21 with positive hpv and borderline cell changes. All my previous smears were clear but I'd had years of bleeding after sex and was initially told down to cervical erosion.  In October 21 I went for colospcopy and had 3 biopsies all came back negative. However consultant said he would do cryotherapy at my choice to help the bleeding. Had the cryotherapy in Jan 22 and few months later still bleeding. Had scans of uterus and ovaries all clear. Back to another coloscopy. This time he says a patch of whiteness is a lot bigger (he showed me pics has grown from about an eighth of size of cervix to about a quarter size of cervix between October and July. So he says a new biopsy needed. Now waiting results. Meantime had repeated bv and uti's totally miserable experience. Just wondering why he didn't tell me about the white patch after the first coloscopy and also why it came back negative 1st time when it has grown so quickly. Anyone else experienced this? Also does the size of the surface area of the abnormal cells make a difference to cin grading or is it how deep these cells reach into the cervix itself? Thanks
