Post hysterectomy HPV positive with high grade moderate dyskaryosis

Just over a year ago I had a total hysterectomy due to a diagnosis of HPV positive with high grade moderate dyskaryosis. I have now had two post op vault smears and both have come back showing I am still HPV positive with high grade moderate dyskaryosis and have no idea what this means in terms of ongoing treatment options. There is nothing left to remove surgically as far as I am aware (uterus, tubes, cervix all gone). Has anyone had experience of this? Should I be worried?

  • Welcome to the forum Clare1970 although I'm sorry to hear both of your smear tests results have shown you still have HPV with high grade moderate dyskaryosis, despite having a total hysterectomy.

    I know this must be worrying but try not to panic if you can. Much easier said than done, I know, but hopefully the support and advice you receive from some of our members will help to steady your nerves whilst you wait.

    We also have a team of cancer nurses you can discuss this with on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    We're thinking of you Clare and hope you won't have to wait too long to find out what happens next.

    Kind regards,
