So many questions,

Hi all

Last August I had an abnormal smear and colposcopy.  They were CIN1 so no treatment was needed.  This August my smear and colposcopy showed CIN3.  Is this common to change by so much in a year?

I had colposcopy today with Lletz treatment.  I did not feel the injection into my cervix.  Again is this normal?

Also the consultant said there was skin growing into my cervix so he could not see the whole area but took a biopsy of the skin.  Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm probably just panicking as cell changes, no feeling and extra skin are making me think the worst.

should get results in 4 weeks

Just interested to know if anyone else had these things too?

  • Hello Hooch72

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some cervical changes over the past year. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. 

    There's lots of information about cell changes on the Jo's Trust website which you may find helpful but I wonder if you might find it helpful to chat things through with one of our team of nurses. I'm sure they would be happy to offer any advice, support and information that they can whilst you're waiting for your results. If you'd like to speak with them they're back in the office after the bank holiday on 0808 800 4040 (9 am to 5 pm). 

    Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for your results and the Consultant will be able to give you some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
