Hello, 

I have had the results for my first smear and they have come back as hpv positive and low grade dyskaryosis. During my appointment for the smear the nurse said everything including my cervix looks healthy so I was really positive about that but now I'm absolutely terrified, I have done some Googling and although it says it generally isn't anything to worry about it really doesn't help when I'm your own head it's the worse thing for a woman to be told and to see knowing that it isn't far away from the C word. I have to wait for an appointment for further testing which I know is the best thing to help find out if anything further has to be done ect but I'm literally crying on and off and I don't know how to handle it. I haven't noticed any changes in my vaginal health what so ever that could indicate anything like cervical cancer but I think it's the total lack of knowledge that is shared with young girls about cervical health. You are told to use a condom and protect yourself from pregnancy and infections but nothing is mentioned about the importance of your cervix and how to prepare if you do have a result such as this. I just don't know how to handle this news and I feel so alone and wrapped up in my mind about the worst case scenario
