Hello,
I had my first smear test last year at 25 and it came back positive for HPV and low grade cells. I went for a colposcopy a few months later and there was nothing they could see. I was discharged but informed i would have to come back again in 2 years time for a smear test.
i then had to go for another colposcopy within a years time due to bleeding i was experiencing, all though my GP had mentioned that HPV does not cause symptoms, she just wanted to be sure nothing new had occurred.
i went for another colposcopy in September, they could not see any abnormal cells during the colposcopy. However, they still took a biopsy which found again low grade cells.
i am worried now that my body is struggling to fight off the virus and so worried for my second smear test next year. I have such anxiety around this and don’t know who to talk to.
