High risk HPV and symptoms getting unbearable

Hello all,

I had my first smear last month, 2 weeks ago it had come back as I have high risk HPV and I need another test which has been booked for December 23rd as far as I'm aware there were not enough cells collected to conclude further.

I may come across as just a paranoid 24 year old but I had my first son at 16 and second son at 18... I have been back and forth to the doctors for the past 3 years with continuous infections, strange period cycles, painful sex, pelvic pain and more recently back pain. I'm even more concerned tonight as I am in agony and I'm surviving off co-codamol which does not even benefit me in the slightest.

I am posting to hope someone has possibly gone/is going through a similar experience? I'm trying not to be too worried over it as I don't want the children to pick up on it but just hoping for the best aswell as knowing something isn't right.

Thank you in advance and sending my love to each and everyone of you lovely people.

  • Hi Lauren,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be concerning - it's good to hear you are getting this checked and that you have another appointment coming up, although I can appreciate this may feel like a difficult wait.

    I hope that it's not too long before you get the answers you need, and that the symptoms ease soon.

    Meanwhile if anyone here has similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
