Had my colposcopy

I had my colposcopy done yesterday after getting a letter saying I had hpv and low grade cell changes, the doctor said after putting dye on cervix that I had more cell changes alot quicker than he'd expect in a month and did a biopsy. In alot of pain was throwing up from a few hours after not sure if this was from treatment also had diarrhea sorry if tmi, the bleeding has been heavy and just starting to slow down now. Going out of mind now with what he said, prior to the colposcopy I've had spotting for six weeks non stop abdominal bloating needing to pee but cant always go and cramping also lower back pain from doing nothing and extreme tiredness my partner thought I was pregnant but I wasn't has anyone had any of these symptoms and got results back 

  • Hello Haysabedd

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had treatment for cervical cell changes. It's understandable that you're anxious after the appointment and the biopsy. Did the Consultant give you any idea about how long the results may take or when you would have a follow-up appointment? Hopefully, it won't be too long. 

    It can sometimes help to talk things through and I wondered if you'd find it helpful to have a chat with one of our team of nurses. I'm sure they will be happy to give you any information, advice, and support that they can ahead of your results. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,

  • Thankyou for your help, He said between 2 to six weeks wait for results and no idea on follow up appointment I'm guessing il be waiting for the results first. To be honest I didnt think of these questions till I'd already left I was on my own due to covid for my appointment and a little in shock from seeing blood I just didn't take in completely what was said to me, I'm still bleeding from it being done on Wednesday hoping it stops soon. 

  • Hi hun hope your ok? I'm due for my colposcopy Wednesday I'm so scared did your results come back ok
