Hi all,

Back in 2021 I was referred to a routine Colposcopy clinic following a series of HPV+ smears that eventually showed low-grade cell changes. Upon further investigation, I was discharged back to the regular cervical screening cadence and told it would probably clear on its own.

Two weeks ago I went for my first routine smear since being discharged and yesterday was informed that I have an urgent appointment on Monday as high-level (moderate) dyskaryosis has been found. I have also identified a small, hard lump in the lymph node area of my pelvis on the right-hand side in the crease between the top of your thigh and your groin.

Does anyone have any stories of something similar or insight/advice for me please?

For background information, I am 35 years old, 2 full term pregnancies, 3 pregnancy losses, with a significant birth injury (Grade 3 tear) following my first birth that required immediate surgery after delivery and subsequent surgery and treatment, and a C-section delivery with my second. There is no history of cervical cancer in my family that I know of.

Many thanks
