Can cin3 return

I had cin3 in 2011 , I then had the loop treatment and my last 2 smears after that was normal as I’ve not had a smear from 2014 till 2 weeks ago and I’m worried as the nurse who did the smear said your last smear was normal but they wanted you back in 1 year which was 2015 , but I obviously misheard my doctor when he told me this . So when I got my letter I booked my smear which was 2 weeks ago .  but I’m just a bit worried why I would have to go back in a year if my smears were normal from the my treatment. Can cin3 return? . Thanks 

  • Hi, I have previously had many biopsies and have 2 Lletz procedures to remove abnormal cells. I’ve had CIN3 removed then follow up after that showed CIN1 which we chose to leave until my next check up. My last I had removed again as cin3 again. I have my smears usually every year due to previously having abnormal cells. I’ve not had a normal smear since I was 22 so 9years. They just like to check that no abnormal cells have returned or how quick they return and if they have they can keep an eye or remove before the possibility of developing further. But yes abnormal cells can return as mine do, but I really wouldn’t worry xx

  • Thank you so much for your reply, I’m a bit more settled now . Sorry to hear about your smear trouble I hope it gets cleared soon for you . I’m understanding a bit more being on here . Xx
