Colposcopy on Thursday

Hi everyone 

I have my colposcopy on Thursday but today I went for a covid swab , I had to go where I would for the appointment, I am now so worried it's really and petrified I'm worried it will hurt or they will see things and think oh my god ‍♀️ I don't think I'm going to be able to take myself into that hospital I avoid doc and hospital anyway as I have terrible fear of these places and the unknown 

I tell myself it's just like an in-depth smear - but it's what they find and if I need treatment or maybe it Mayb the start of bad things to happen to me or I will end up need to be out to sleep which I don't want I have terrible bad luck an nothing ever seems that straight forward for me - if they said all I need to do is have this lol smear done again and have a look potentially burn some bad cells away and that will b it then I would b fine with that but know one knows until they have seen and I'm worried that I will b that nervous the nurse will loose paitence with me an not be supportive 

  • Welcome to the forum dw888rde although I'm sorry to read what's troubling you.

    I hope this information we have about the colposcopy will help to put your mind at ease but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had this procedure will share their experiences and advice with you soon but whilst you wait I just want to wish you all the best for tomorrow. We'll be thinking of you and hope it goes well. 

    Kind regards,
