Colposcopy after abnormal smear

[DanceDanceDance80]

Hi, I'm not really sure why I'm posting. I think just for reassurance. A year ago I had a routine smear where I found out I had HPV but no abnormal cells. Fast forward to this year for another smear and I still have HPV but with abnormal cells now. I'm being referred to hospital for a colopscopy and I'm shit scared. Can anyone give me any advice or if you was in the same situation.
Thankyou

Thanks for the advice. Will I really bleed for 2 weeks? Better buy some sanitary towels. I’m on holiday in 3 weeks so hope it stops by then...

I bled for more than 2 weeks, but I guess it depends on how much tissue they remove. I also bled for a full 6 weeks after I gave birth so I think I may just be a bleeder...

Had a smear in April. Got told in August I had abnormal cells, had a colposcopy with a gynae oncologist, told I've one of the HPV strains and abnormal cells. Heard 4 weeks layer I've just mild changes, repeat smears yearly.

All good. Like an OP said, it's better to have been smeared and picked up, than not smeared at all.
Best of luck.
