Abnormal Smear results and worried

Hello

sorry if I'm wasting anyone's time here I'm just worried sick as I already have health anxiety 

 

last year I noticed some random bleeding between periods, pelvic pain and tons of discharge. I kept going to different drs to try get to the bottom of it and even paid privately as I was so worried. They did a scan and some swabs and all came back fine and they didn't know what it was. I kept asking for a smear but as I was 24 and not 25 they wouldn't do it

fast forward to now I've just had my first smear test and it's been around 2 weeks and I haven't received a letter although I received one saying I have been made an appointment at colposcopy. I rang up and they said I should get my smear results soon but it's due to the test showing abnormal cells

 

Im honeslty so worried as for the last year or so I have been convincing myself I have CC due to my symptoms and now this smear result is really scaring me

 

does anyone have any advice at all please I've even convinced myself my legs are hurting and that it's severe CC!

  • Is there anyone that could help please :( 

     

     

  • Hi eleanorma1,
