Please try not to worry (easy said than done) 

This happened to me 2 years ago and i honestly spent a week crying and convinced i was dying. I was so worried. I researched online which is how i ended up here and terrified myself. 

When i went for my colposcopy they saw the bad cells and removed them there and then as they were severe. This was done by  (i think its called) letzz treatment in which they remove the affected part of the cervix. Not as bad as it sounds! They numb the cervix with a local (worst part, stingy, pressure) then do the loop. Whole thing took a few minutes. Lovely nurse holding my hand the whole time. Afterwards i had some brown discharge for around a week but no bleeding. Had a cup of tea and a biscuit and was allowed home. They sent the sample for tests and it was clear. 6 months later i had a "test of cure" smear. It was clear and free from HPV. I am now back to 3 yearly screening.

Hope this is helpful x

Hi!!

About 6 years ago (when I was 25) I had the same smear results and was sent for colposcopy. I was terrified! Dr google does not help in these situations as I spent days reading and assuming the worst!

Anyway I turned up to my appointment and burst into tears - the nurses were so nice. I had dye injected into the cervix to show up any CIN areas (this didn't hurt btw!) It turned out I had 3 large areas of CIN 3 (pre-cancerous) cells. So they decided to do LLETZ procedure and remove these right away. They injected local anaesthetic and removed the areas for biopsy testing. A week or 2 later I got a letter to say everything had been completed removed. I got 6 monthly smear tests for one year and now I am back to every 3 years with no problems!

good luck, everything will be fine x

Thankyou so much for your reply, you've definitely eased my mind a little! I bet it was a relief all coming back clearly! Google really isn't our friend at these times is it xx

Waiting is definitely the worst but they were super quick and the nurses were very reassuring the whole time. 
 

try not to worry (impossible I know) Best of luck to you xx

Thankyou! I will update the thread after my colposcopy xxx 

So I had my colposcopy today. Turns out my cervix was too high for treatment to be done today and my vaginal walls were collapsing. Not sure what that means really. But anyway they finally managed a biopsy and once results are back will be booking in for the LEETZ treatment under general anaesthetic as they couldn't do it under local today xxx
