Hi everyone! Has anyone been waiting ages for a colposcopy after an abnormal smear due to covid?
I’ve been waiting 13 weeks now when they said it would be no longer than 8 weeks and every time I’ve called they have just said I’m on a waiting list due to reduced clinics running because of the virus. I get that the NHS will be under a lot of pressure atm but it doesn’t stop me worrying!
My smear tests results came back as hpv negative but abnormal cells seen, which I was confused about as well as I thought they only checked for abnormal cells now if the sample was hpv positive. And I also thought that hpv caused the cell changes! Has anyone had experience of this scenario?
