Smear test results - changes in cells - and I am terrified

[Autumnsun1]

Good morning everyone. I have just had the results back from my smear test and HPV has been detected as well as borderline changes from my last smear test. This is my 3rd smear test and I am in my early 30s.

I have to go for a colposcopy for further investigation.

I am trying not to worry myself too much, but it’s hard not to think of the worst case scenario.

If anyone has been through the same thing then I’d be grateful to hear your experiences.

I didn't get to see mine in the screen.

It went okay thank you. Although she did take a biopsy as she thought there were low grade changes so just wanted to double check. Hopefully that will come back clear and I won’t need further treatment. There was a screen but I don’t actually see my cervix- they didn’t offer the chance for me to have a look and I only realised there was a screen afterwards!

My results came back - all clear, no action needed except annual smears for a while. So that's good.
