HPV positive but normal 3 year recall-now severe dyskaryosis

Hi

i had a smear 3 years ago, it came back HPV positive with low grade dyskaryosis, had a colposcopy, which she said was clear-no abnormal cells found, and put me back onto 3 year recall.

i have just had my latest smear results this morning which says HPV positive with high grade(severe) dyskaryosis

I wasn't aware at the time, only until reading it recently, but shouldn't I have been put on yearly recall when it was first found to be positive?

or can the colposcopy examiner see that there is actually no HPV there? Please help I'm confused and now very scared I feel like they have got it wrong and I should have been seen yearly, and now because I haven't, it's been able to get very serious. 
My colposcopy is booked for a week and half away, which I received the text for, before I even received my letter saying what was actually wrong, which I think is very wrong to do.

  • Hi Chloe, I had the same experience as you in 2016 - HPV positive and abnormal cells. I went for a colposcopy and then was put on 3 year recall. However last year I was pregnant so couldn't go and I've been worrying ever since. I also looked up and realised I should have been sent yearly or so it seems because of the HPV. I have my smear booked for Monday but for the last three weeks have had continuous bleeding so now I'm extra worried and I know they probably won't be able to do the smear either leaving me to worry a few more weeks :( please let me know how you get on. I might just beg them to do it Monday I can't wait any longer it's driving me insane! 

  • I will let you know how I get on, surely there must be a reason for us been put back on normal recall, as if it was guidelines then the colposcopist would know automatically HPV present yearly recall, and mine knew I had because she talked me through having HPV. 
    I am going to ring my doctors and the hospital first thing Monday to see what my last result said and why i wasn't put on it, the hardest thing is getting the letter today on a Saturday and now having to wait a couple of days to be able to get some answers!

  • I will go anyway Monday and ask why I had to wait 3 years also. Surely between us we should be able to find some answers. Good luck x

  • You too hope everything goes ok and hopefully someone can maybe come back to us with a answer on here x
