Dear Doctor,
I recently had a smear test (UK) which came back with the following results:
- severe dyskaryosis
- endocervical cells absents.
I was referred for a Colposcopy during which no abnormal cells were found.
She nurse could not do a punch biospy as there were no abnormal cells.
Even if there were abnormal cells, she could not take a biospy as i am pregnant.
However, she said afterwards that the abnormal cells may be hidden in the cervix canal, but as my cervix was tiny ( i have not had children before) she could not see inside.
So instead she repeated the smear test, and said the result will come back in 4 weeks.
My questions are:
- What are the implication of having abnormal cells in the cervix canal? Is this more serious than having CIN2/3?
- From my understanding, endcocervical cells denote cells found in the cervix canal. If they were absent on my smear sampling, then does that rule out the severe dyskaryosis in the cervix canal?
- I was approx 2 weeks pregnant when the smear was taken. Does pregnancy distort smear readings, and if so, how?
I look forward to your repsonse.
