I’m sorry to hear that your recent screening results showed HPV and some changes in your cells — it’s completely understandable to feel worried. At the same time, it’s good to hear you’ve been referred for a colposcopy, as this is the usual next step to help get a clearer picture. It gives specialists the chance to take a closer look at your cervix and decide if any further checks or treatment are needed.
You can read more about what cervical screening results mean on our website, which might help explain things a bit more while you wait.
I hope others who’ve had a similar experience will be along shortly to share their stories - it often helps to hear from people who’ve been in the same boat.
And if you feel it would help to talk things through, our nurses are here for you. You can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
I hope everything goes smoothly with your appointment, Wendy. Please do come back and let us know how you’re getting on, if you feel up to it.
