Yellow iodine test result

Hi, 

I recently had a colposcopy and the consultant performed an iodine test which immediately turned bright yellow.  The Dr went on to take a biopsy which will take a few weeks to return results. Reading through the Internet this result indicates cin or cervical cancer but I wish I had asked more questions at the tune. Does anyone know can this result give different results other than either of these?

Thanks for any thoughts or pointers on this. 

  • Hello Yellowbears,

    I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. You can read some helpful tips to help you manage this here

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
