Worried after colposcopy.

I recently had a smear test at my doctors and she examined my cervix, she carried out a smear that Iv not yet received results for. She said my cervix looked very red and because of blood she couldn't see very well so referred me to have a colposcopy. This was very quick like 4 days later on an urgent appointment. Iv had the colposcopy yesterday and after about 5 minutes of the nurse examining me she said there does look like there's some changes, she asked if she could take a biopsy and I agreed but I didn't expect her to take more than 2, she took about 7/8 which obviously made me so worried. Afterwards she used silver nitrate and a fluid to wash out there was quite a lot of blood and she said the blood was present throughout the examination so she couldn't see properly either. I'm so scared, I sat down and she said there was areas that looked suspicious? What does that mean? I'm riddled with anxiety waiting for the biopsy and smear results It's like I'm almost expecting it to say I have the dreaded C. Has anyone else had more that 2 biopsy's taken? Please help. 

  • Hi Becky , I don't know I'm having one done this Friday have you been getting any symptoms on problems before hand ? , I'm having one done as I'm getting spotting and watery discharge but I seem to of had problems since having copper coil and I suffer with cervical Erosion, I had a scan done which showed nothing and to check my coil so now having a colposcopy done , I hope your results are ok it could just be a bad cervical erosion xx 

  • Hi Sophie thanks for reply, don't worry about the procedure it will just be routine and we are in good hands. I had an ectropion before 5 years ago and I had the cells removed. They told me straight away last time that it was that what was causing the bleeding but I'm so worried as she took so many biopsy's and said there were changes but couldn't explain further until I get the results from biopsy. Iv never had the coil, I take oral contraceptive. I may change it after all this because I'm not sure if it could be to do with that too. My symptoms were bleeding inbetween periods and even more so during/after sex. It's a real pain bleeding all the time. I have had a dull ache in my left side for about a week like above my hip an I'm panicking that much Iv made an appointment at the doctors tomo to do a urine test to rule out any infection in my kidneys or something. Keep in touch and let me know how your examination goes hope everything is ok xx

  • Aww I know problem is you start really over thinking it and I think almost convincing yourself ! Don't worry I'm sure it's just a cervical erosion again ! And pain can be ovulating or anything really or a cyst ! But I had a colposcopy done in 2017 when I was pregnant and was all ok then had smear done last year jan but not sure now if it's my coil tbh , and yes let me know to I hope it all goes ok ! Xxx
