Hi St1985 and welcome to the forum.

There can be a lot of confusion surrounding HPV but I hope these FAQs will help answer some of your questions and make your results easier to understand.

I'm sure some of our members who have had the same results from their cervical screenings will be along soon for a chat but in the meantime I hope this information we have about the colposcopy will help you prepare for your appointment next month.

Our cancer nurses are also available for a chat on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

Kind regards,

Hi

Just after some advice.

My daughter has been diagnosed with HPV and low grade dyskaryosis following her first routine smear test (age 24). She is having to wait seven weeks for a colposcopy appointment and is worried if waiting this long will make things worse?

Thanks

Hello Maisy123

I'm sorry to hear that your daughter's recent cervical screening result came back positive for HPV with low-grade dyskaryosis. It's understandable that she's feeling anxious about things. 

It's can help to remember that many, many women receive the same kind of results every year and that low-grade dyskaryosis doesn't mean that she has cancer. 

There's lots of good, sound information available on the Jo's Trust website and if she wanted to speak to someone for some further information and assurance they do have a support line that she can call. The details are on their web pages. 

Best wishes,
