hi guys,
First time Post. Just a bit lost on the what happens next. In February 2019 I had a smear which came back HPV positive. I was due a 12 month folllow up smear in February 2020 however I was pregnant at the time. This smear was put back to October 2020. I attended my smear. The results showed HPV positive and also showed high grade dyskaryosis. 10 days later I was in hospital for a colposcopy. The Dr there said this is usually to confirm the high grade dyskaryosis, however if she thinks she finds it during the colposcopy she's happy to perform a lletz/loop excision at the same time. So, she asked for my permission that if she found CIN3 cells, could she perform loop excision then to which i agreed.
There was a slight complication during the process. The Dr asked if I'd had any covid symptoms in the last 2 weeks to which I said no, she then asked 'good, so youre all fit and well then' which I nodded along to. After the colposcopy she advised, ive just given you some local anaesthetic in to your cervix which contains adrenaline so you may feel your heart race, some shaking and your legs will go numb. I asked if that was safe with my heart problem to which she seemed stunned by and then advised me I had time to tell her about this when she asked if I was fit and well. Id assumed that question was about general health and not a heart problem from 15 years ago. I was quite upset and felt I was being blamed for this. Anyway, she continued and performed the loop excision. She advised I would hear something in 2-3 weeks by post and if its all clear I'd go for.6 monthly smears BUT I dont recall her telling me anything about if it isn't clear? She didn't even advise of what was happening to the cells she was sending off. I'm.assuming they're being tested for cancer? I just feel totally lost and that there's no one I can turn to who doesn't think I'm.over reacting
Tia guys
