Hi Chloe123

hope you're well and things are better! 
 

I had this as first time and so worried too! Just wanna ask

how your smear went? And I thought hpv clears 1-2 years but

why you still positive after 3 years? I'm sorry for asking as I will have my colposcopy on a week Monday and can't even tell my own husband. I worry so much I have to children and 1 & 1/2 weeks of wait seemed so long 

thanks so much 

Hi blessedgirl143, 

How was your coloscopy? How are you getting on? 

I had my smear 2 weeks ago and got a telephone call today to inform me I have severe dyskaerosis and HPV and have been booked in for Monday for a coloscopy. Totally freaking out as I have been backwards and forwards to the doctors with pelvic pain and pain during sex. Was told it was just hormonal. I had a cervical exam in May and the doctor said cervix was healthy and sent on my way and have now had this news. Not sure what to think. 

Any advice would be greatly received as my mind is all over the place.

Hi L3mmy123, 

Sorry for the late reply you must be so worried! But please don't worry!! I was the same and had a month of sleepless stressful day and night until I've got the result-and no Cancer was found! Thank God! 
 

Coloscopy wasn't too bad, it doesn't hurt neither. They've burnt all the abnormal cells right there & then. They've also took a sample of my abnormal cells and sent it to lab to check and make sure there was no cancer. The nurses & the doctor were so lovely! The nurse even hold my hand during the surgery and told me she had it once and it was nothing to be scared or embarrass about! But I didn't tell anyone so it was such a weight off my shoulder to talk about it to someone. I am here for you if anytime you're worried or have any questions.
 

I've got the biopsy result only few days ago that confined I don't have cancer and everything abnormal was taken out. I will have a follow up test of cure and also they've written I will have a repeat cytology test to make sure the test was successful. Although I have to wait for 6 months and sometimes I worry I do but I have a friend who had the same (I did not tell her my story!) and she said it as completely gone after 6 months and since they've burnt the abnormal cells!

Although I never had pain during sex but some women who's hormonal are like that. And when you had a cervical test and looked good - then don't think too much! 
 

I know it's easier said than done as I was the same but please don't worry. I find comfort in praying. I've done this alone and I'm so proud that it really made me strong. There are almost 99% if not all, successful stories of women about our situation here and I used to screenshot and read them when I feel down and crying, it did help! Lol 

But try to relax your mind. It's usually prevention to the C word. All the terms seemed scary but it's not actually as worst as we thought. 
 

and btw, I was leaking for weeks! Yesterday was the first time that I didn't have a blood spot not leake so fingers crossed I can go back to normal now and do some outdoor exercise! 
 

hope my email helped. Message me anytime if you have any questions. YOU'LL BE FINE! Xxxxx

Hello :) I know this post is old but I was just wondering how you went on with this as I'm now in the same situation. My doctor said my cervix was healthy but after 2 smears they can't get enough cells and I have tested positive for hpv an got to go for a colposcopy to check as they couldn't get enough cells. 
thabkyou  

Had my coloposcopy results detected no cancer removed abnormal cells Cin 3 smear in six months time was so relieved 

Hey! :)

So I had my colposcopy and had my results of the biopsy around 9 days later - all clear and no cancer detected.

I had my follow up smear a couple of months ago and that came back no HPV. So they didn't check for abnormal cells as the HPV infection had gone so I'm back to 3 year recalls. 

The colposcopy isn't that bad, a little uncomfortable but the nurses were lovely and it was over before I knew it. It's worth it for the peace of mind. I hope everything goes OK for you. Happy to answer any questions you have as I went out of my mind with worry ️

Hiya i was the same, no cancer detected,

I had my 6 month test of cure and that came back all clear,

but what I want to know is-they now check for HPV before cells, as they say HPV causes the abnormal cells,

They say if you don't have HPV then you won't have abnormalities.

But is that still the case when you have had abnormal cells removed, had a smear 6 months later-they test for HPV-it's negative so they don't bother checking for abnormal cells, but how do they know that there aren't any still lurking and remaining from before that they may not have been able to get rid of?

I asked my nurse who gave me my results and she couldn't answer me, she said they wouldn't really know would they if they hadn't checked for them.

so I am having private smears once yearly I don't trust that theory. 

I have my six .month cancer smear in Sept does removing abnormal cells remove hpv seeing as it is that that causes abnormal cells 

Hi Chester

A smear test does not remove HPV, only the abnormal cells. There is no cure for HPV -it is a virus which causes damage when it’s active which can happen if your immune system is low. By keeping your immune system as healthy as you can-healthy diet etc, it is possible for the virus to be dormant, ie not active and not causing damage to cells.
