Hi,

I have had my smear come back as HPV positive since 2019. On this one it also came back as low grade abnormal cells and I was sent for a colposcopy. There they said it was very mild and no need for treatment.

since then, all my smears and one more colposcopy has shown that there have been no abnormal cells. This year I went for my smear and they said they couldn’t read the sample to check the cells. I went back in 3 months and they said the same thing and I would be sent for a colposcopy.

This sent me into a massive panic and as I have extreme anxiety I booked in for a private colposcopy which I am not sure was the best idea. I went yesterday and she took a biopsy. She never mentioned what level of abnormal cells she thought I had and I never thought to ask. I think I was in too much shock at having a biopsy as before my cells have always been ok. Does a biopsy mean something serious I have been found? I am absolutely worried sick and don’t know how to get through the next 10 days for my results.

does anyone know if it can change form no abnormal cells to high grade or even cancer in 18 months?

also does anyone know it the biopsy comes back and say I will need further treatment whether it will be easy to move back to the NHS?

sprry for the rambling post!
