Abnormal cervix

Yesterday I had an appointment for a smear. Long story short, I had a smear last year (2 years overdue) and my smear came back saying that I had high risk Hpv and would need another smear in 12 months. I went to my doctor yesterday to have my smear done. She started and then stopped before taking any swabs, she said that my cervix was vet red and looked abnormal. She said that she would refer me to the gynaecology unit at the hospital. I'm so worried. 

  • Hello Jenjen88

    I'm sorry to hear that you're worried following your recent cervical screening appointment. We know that many people find this stage of waiting for a referral appointment to be very difficult and it's natural that you might be worried about what the GP has mentioned to you. 

    If you'd like to have a chat with one of our nurses then you're welcome to give them a call. I'm sure they'll be able to offer some advice and reassurance. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
