Hpv and borderline changes - colposcopy

Hi, I had my letter about borderline changes and need for a colposcopy. I booked that in and went along. The staff were excellent however they took a biopsy and never removed any cells just said it confirmed there were changes.

I'm now freaking out that they've not removed the cells because its already cancer and that's why they took the biopsy without removing the abnormal cells? 

Is this normal? 

  • Hi Ordinary_gaz,

    It may be that they will wait until they get the biopsy results first. You can find out more about the process here.

    If you have any questions or concerns, you may wish to give our nurses a call and they can advise - you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
