Hi.. I never thought I'd be posting here but I'm having quite a cancer scare (this may be my fault due to googling) but just looking for some advice. I'm 24 years old and I had a smear test and a pelvic ultrasound last week due to abnormal bleeding and lower stomach cramps for the last year. The doctor said I have an endometrial polyp as she showed me on the ultrasound screen. I also then had a smear test the same day and My result has come back as HIgh risk HPV and borderline nuclear cell changes.. They have booked me in for a colposcopy to remove the polyp / take a lab analysis sample but I am very worried about the HPV and not sure how this has been caused, will it affect my life? Does HPV mean that I am at a high chance of cancer and will I be able to have children? I'm just going a bit mad here. I have a family history of colon cancer as my father was diagnosed in 2017. I may have to wait until January for my colposcopy as I am supposed to be going on holiday next week with family.. my brother is getting married and I can't back out of this or tell them what's going on so I need to be patient and wait it out. Should I be worried?
