Severe smear but clear biopsy?

Treatment for cell changes (abnormal cells)
1

Hi there

I’ve had 2 letz in the past. Had another bad smear with no HPV recently so was very stressed.

The biopsy was clear but they tried to do a letz anyway. They couldn’t do it as my cervix was closed so took another biopsy. This was clear.

Apparently the biopsy was taken from the same area as the smear.

I was told I get offered a hysterectomy but now I’m getting monitored. The language around smears is very confusing.

Very confused and scared. I don’t trust the results. Has anyone else had something similar to this?

You could ask if they can re test the biopsy?

I’ve had some inconsistencies and an MDT was held and decided to retest my LLETZ cells.

This showed a higher grade CIN than originally reported.

Also, I find my local women clinic so lovely and helpful. Could you give them a call and discuss your worries? They might even schedule a telephone appointment with your colp nurse

Thanks daffy

I find it all so confusing. Very worried they missed something. This all happened last year too. I had too much going on personally to get a handle on it. I’m going to chase it up.

Hope yours is ok too!
