Can anyone help?

Hi,

I'm a 21 year old female with history of cervical cancer in my family. I noticed abnormal bleeding every time I am intimate with my partner, I called my GP and was invited for a smear test. I have just received my smear test results, I do not have HPV but have been referred to gynaecology. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? I am scared and confused as usually HPV would cause my symptoms but I don't have it.

  • Hi, I had some abnormal bleeding and as I was post-menopausal it needed investigating. Turned out I had a benign polyp which was removed. Try not to imagine the worst, even with your family history as it may not be anything sinister. Keeping everything crossed for you. Maybe someone your age will reply too and help put your mind at rest. Hugs x
