Severe dyskaryosis

[Lostmyemailaddress]

I was wondering if anyone had this after having a smear test please. I had a smear test last week and received an appointment to go to a coloscopy clinic. They have sent a letter explaining what will happen on the day but I haven't got any explanation about what severe dyskaryosis is. I did a quick Google and it showed cancer support sites. Does this always mean cancer? I'm sorry this seems really rambled I'm 36 and mum to 7 kids and really scared

No it doesn't always mean cancer at all. It means that you have some abnormal cells which, if severe enough and left, MAY go on to be malignant.

Ok thank you for the information.

That's very careless communication to leave you so in the dark and scared.

As the pp. said; it doesn't mean cancer - it's several stages before that. I had mild discaryosis after a smear test a few times, and it just meant I had to have more frequent smear tests for a while.
Hope this reassures you.

I had severe dyskariosis a few years ago. I had to go in and have a loop excision and every smear since has been fine (you have to have more than normal for a while). The only impact I have noticed is I couldn't have a coil fitted as there is scar tissue. I have the contraceptive vaginal ring instead and that's fine. Don't worry too much

It's easy to say don't worry, I know. I cried my eyes out to my husband and I worried far more than necessary x

Lost, its a very simple procedure and you will need annual smears for 3-4 yrs. Don't worry, it is quite commonly occurring and completely resolvable.

Thank you for the information I think it has me worrying so much as cancer does run in my family. Not having the coil isn't an issue as I'm waiting to be surgically sterilized as I really don't want anymore kids if it came down to it I'd be more then happy to have a hysterectomy.

I’ve had this - it doesn’t mean cancer, although I remember the fear I felt at the time. I had cells removed (can’t temember which procedure, it was 11 years ago!) and now have a perfectly healthy muff.

@DeathByMascara the healthy muff made me smile thank you it's not a term I've heard in a long time. It's reassuring that others have had them same and it hasn't been cancer so thank you. I'm gonna try and put it the back of my mind now don't want to spoil the dc' s Christmas with me moping and stressing.
