Couldn’t carry out cervical screening 6 months after lletz

I went to hve my 6 month cervical screening after having lletz procedure 6 months ago. They couldn't find my cervix and it was as though something was in the way. I have now been referred for another colposcopy and I feel scared! My cervix is to the left and normally hve to get in an awkward position before smears but never had it where they couldn't do it. I don't know what to think. 

  • Hello Cezza and welcome to our forum! 

    I am sorry to hear they were unable to find your cervix and that you have had to be referred for another colposcopy. It is normal to be scared but hopefully it won't be long now until you have the colposcopy and get some answers. I know it's really hard but try not to worry too much until you get seen for the colposcopy and try not to anticipate what it may all mean. Resist any urge to check things on google as this will inevitably show all the worst case scenarios and make you worry even more! You will be in expert hands who I am sure will be able to answer questions you may have as to why it was not possible on that day to find your cervix.

    I hope your appointment goes well - keeping everything crossed for you! 

    Best wishes,
