Hi there sorry to hear about your situation

Try not to worry - I have high risk hpv and had high grade dykanosis and had to have smears every year (joy) to keep it in check after laser (loop) treatment -  and honestly it's nothing to worry about it doesn't take long and after that they just keep a check on you yearly - my last smear they said I was all clear and didn't have to come back for another three years ! As long as you keep going for your checks after you'll be fine ️ Honestly you are young and healthy and they have got you on the records now so you will be kept an eye on - it's when people don't go for years without smears and leave any kind of check up which nowadays is really irresponsible- you aren't which is good x don't worry it's treatable and In check here is a snip from nhs 

"Once infected with HPV, it can take 15 to 20 years for cervical cancer to develop, or 5 to 10 years if you have a weakened immune system. HPV may be more likely to progress to cervical cancer if you smoke or have other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or herpes simplex." 

keep eating well / don't smoke/ keep fit! You'll be fine

Hello

I had my first smear test aged 28 in August after I had some irregular bleeding and my mum had just been diagnosed with leukemia (her diagnosis made me super paranoid about cancer). 

My results came back about 2 weeks later saying, the same as you, high risk HPV and borderline cell changes (which I believe is the same as low grade) and was referred for a colposcopy. I cried so much, couldn't sleep for a few nights, completely convinced myself I had cancer. I was also worried about the colposcopy as I googled it all the time, searched these chats, worried about the pain or them telling me I had cervical cancer. 

I had my colposcopy about a month later. In all honesty it was no worse than the smear test itself. I chose not to look at the screen which shows the abnormal cells as I thought it might alarm me. She took one punch biopsy and asked me to cough while she did it - I didn't even feel a thing! After the procedure she told me I still had abnormal cells, that it was only a small area and didn't think it would need any treatment but the biopsy would determine that.

I had a bit of period-like cramping for a few hours after but not too bad and then some gross grey discharge, but other than that it was all absolutely fine and nothing to worry about. 

Waiting for the results was quite worrisome as they said it would be around 2 weeks but in the end took a month. I got the results yesterday and there were no pre-cancer cells detected in the biopsy and therefore I can return to getting smears every 3 years as normal. 

My friend also had this at a similar time and she had three punch biopsies taken and found CIN1 in her biopsy results, but she still didn't need any treatment - just a follow up colposcopy atfter 6 months to see if there are any changes as CIN1 is likely to go back to normal on it's own. 

So it's completely understandable and easy to worry - but also something many women have and turns out to be absolutely fine. Even if they found CIN3, they would take the steps to remove it and in most cases this preventative measure will stop it ever becoming cancer. 

Hope my story helps!

These years. At the detection of the cin2 umnie after the 3rd biopsy, I had a cervical conosation procedure, the doctors cut 2.5 cm, i.e. the taper of the cervix, after a year, the problem came back again with a biopsy so much that the changes were apparently more and more cancerous cells appeared and the high risk hpv tags appeared. The doctor said it, looking only now, I'm waiting for the biopsy result.I'm so scerd I just want sit and cry but I can't because I got 2 kids and I know I need be strong
