HPV and Low-grade dyskaryosis

Hi Guys

I have just received a letter confirming I have HPV and Low-grade dyskaryosis. I am going for a colposcopy. I was just wondering how the procedure was etc... 

I am also worried sick, I have lower abdominal pain and I think a UTI, not diagnosed. I had excruciating pain a few weeks ago after sex, but I just had put that down to having the coil fitted a couple of months back. 

But you google these things and it's terrifying, I know you shouldn't google but it's natural!!!

Any words of wisdom or advice would be much appreciated

  • Hi I received a letter to say I'm hpv positive & low grade dyskaryosis I have to go for a colposcopy on April 6th, I have been looking at the letter every day & I am so scared, I suffer with health anxiety and I can't keep away from google, I know I shouldn't be searching but it's hard! I am petrified to say the least I'm scared incase they find something more, I keep thinking about my life with my children 

  • Hi, 
    I had my smear end of December which also showed HPV and low grade dyskaryosis. I had my colposcopy at the end of January. I have this week received a letter advising that the result of my cervical skin sample doesn't match my smear test and therefore the test results will require further review at the multidisciplinary team meeting next week and following this an appropriate management plan will be made and I will receive a telephone consultation to discuss the outcome etc. I am extremely worried as when you search what a multidisciplinary team meeting is, it comes up a lot to do with cancer etc and next steps, but I have been thinking surely if it was anything serious they wouldn't leave it until weeks later and ring me. Has anyone had a letter like this following their smear and colposcopy? 
    Thanks 

  • So I had my colposcopy this afternoon, I panicked the worst I ever have. They took a couple of biopsies and have written on my letter that it is high grade / HPV but the reason why is because these some changes so now it's just a waiting game for my results in 4 weeks time to see we're they are going from there. I'm hoping it's nothing serious. She told me precancerous and she tried to calm me down multiple times. They were very understanding and reassuring but the human mind will do nothing but go into panic mode anyway. Some bleeding & mild pain now from the biopsies but hoping it clears up fast so have to take it easy for 3 days. Has anyone ever panicked of having biopsies before?
