Cin 1.

[Spied]

In 2017 when I had my smear the nurse said u had a 'graze' on my cervix but it was quite common. Smear result subsequently came back normal.
Between 2017 and 2020 I had no sexual contact at all. This is relevant.
2020 I resume a sex life and bleed after sex. Referred to colposcopy and diagnosed with Cin1.
Am I wrong in thinking that the 'graze' on my cervix in 2017 was obviously the beginning of the Cin 1 abnormality and therefore the Cin has progressed these last 3 years and is likely to continue to progress?
I had no sexual contact so can't have picked up HPV after 2017 so it must have been there prior to this and my body has not cleared the infection.
I'm thinking it's mad that this isn't being treated and it's likely to have progressed to Cin2 or worse when I go back in a years time? My body obviously can't clear the hpv and therefore the abnormal cells aren't going to magically disappear.
I'm sorry, I know this is hard to follow.
I'm so worried.
I just want the Cin 1 treated before it gets worse.

I had abnormal tests and hpv positive. They said it’s low grade dyscaryosis, seems like cin1. Next Friday it will be a third year for colposcopy visits. It’s in my body, but I’m dreading next Friday.

Keep an eye on your immune system OP. You can hopefully get back to normal. Did they say what they are going to do about it?
Keep updated.

Hi Op,
By ‘graze’ do you mean a cervical erosion? An erosion doesn’t lead to cancer fortunately. They are just glandular cells on the outside of the cervix.

CIN 1 is seen commonly with HPV. They don’t really treat it so much these days as normally the infection resolves itself.
CIN 1 doesn’t necessarily turn into CIN 2, only in a very small minority of cases. They will do regular check ups to keep an eye on it.
