I had a smear test yesterday where the nurse seemed to struggle getting the sample, she explained my cervix looked stenosed or partially closed and referred me for a colposcopy. I had a clear smear test 3 years ago and have had no symptoms like abnormal bleeding or bleeding after sex but i am still really worried ,has anyone else had this ???

  • Hi rmort1990 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry the nurse had difficulty getting a sample at your smear test the other day but hopefully they will more have success at your colposcopy.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had similar difficulties will chat with you about their experiences soon but do feel free to join in on any discussions you find about this using the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above.

    Kind regards,
