Hi there
My wife had an abnormal smear test about 6 months ago and was asked to return to have a follow up smear test. After the smear test this week, the nurse said that NHS guidelines insist that any abnormalities have to be disclosed to the patient and that she thought my wife's cervix "had a roughness to it".
My wife was alarmed at this and the nurse said it could be completely normal, though if it wasn't, the results would be back in a month anyway.
We are both a bit worried about this. Has anyone had any experience of this?
To put things into context, my wife has had three kids, two of which were twins 2.5 years ago. We would really appreciate any guidance on this as a month seems a long time to wait.
Thank you in advance.
