Cgin confused and worried

Hi. I had a colposcopy yesterday and loop treatment for high grade cgin that was detected on my routine smear. I have a date to go back and get my results in 3 weeks which was booked straight after treatment and the doctor told me to bring someone with me (HELP is this norma) When she did the procedure she saw an obvious patch and told me shes removed all she could see and everything else looks healthy so we just need to wait for results to see what's going on underneith. I am absolutely petrified! And there really isnt much info on cgin online apart from that it can be harder to treat. I hate waiting I just want to know what to expect. Anyone else here been through similar?

  • Hello Feistyfilly

    It's natural to feel worried when waiting for results but we know that lots of departments suggest that patients bring someone with them when they come to an appointment so please don't worry about this or read anything into it. 

    There's some information about CIN and treatment on the Jo's Trust website that you may find helpful. I've linked it for you here. They also have a helpline number on the website if you want to speak to someone. 

    I hope that this helps. 

    Best wishes,
