Hpv and cgin

Hi just looking for anyone who has had cgin cells? I had 2 smears hpv positive but normal cells then my most recent one was hpv & hg severe dyskaryosis, I went for a colposcopy and the consultant said it was cgin which I'd never heard off and he will need to do a biopsy under general anaesthetic instead of lletz there and then. It was such a shock and I'm so worried about it. I looked it up online after my appointment to see what it was and I've scared myself as everything I read seemed so bad! Can anyone who's had cgin cells help by sharing their experiences. I have 2 young children and I'm beside myself with worry :( 

  • Hello Worriedmumof2 and a big welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am so sorry to hear you are feeling so worried after being told it was Cgin and you can find out more information about it on this page and you can read more too about treatment if you have abnormal cervical cells.Try not to be alarmed by what you've been reading online as it will often only make you scare yourself even more and will not give you any accurate or reliable information. Stick to trustworthy resources like our website which I hope will reassure you and make you feel better. 

    Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 if there is anything you would like to ask them or talk about - you can call them Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I've had a look around the forum looking for other members who have been diagnosed with Cgin in the past you might be interested in connecting with. For example, you can read [@S4V4GE]‍'s thread here and feel free to respond to her if you wish. 

    I hope that your treatment goes well - keeping everything crossed for you!

    Best wishes,
