adnormal cells

Hi

I just got a letter through the post about my recent smear test, it says i have adnormal cells and i have to go for a colposcopy and a biopsy and if needed instant treatment.

Do i need to be worried?

I only went as i had been bleeding on and off for 6 mths and more after sex and the doctor suggested i had one.

Hi,

The report you received is a preliminary test. The reason why you are being asked for another visit / more procedures is to find out if there is a site worth obtaining a biopsy. Not all women who undergo a colposcopy get a biopsy.

Should something be found on the colposcopy - most of these are intermediate lesions which do not obligately become cervical cancer.

Discuss your concerns with your doctor.
