HPV Positive & Low-grade dyskaryosis

Hi everyone, 

I've just had my results back after my first smear and it's come back HPV+ and low grade dyskaryosis. I'm absolutely gutted, when I went for my smear I was so confident it would be fine because I've had all my HPV jabs and the nurse said they're really effective so I should be fine. So getting my letter back saying I'd need a colposcopy has floored me. 
 

any advice or shared experiences are welcome, my anxiety is through the roof thinking about what could happen - I joke that I have the worst luck when it comes to stuff like this so now my heads in over drive assuming the worst. 
 

Thank you x 

  • Hi Chloe and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry for the worry and anxiety your cervical screening results are causing.

    Many of our members have had the same outcome so you are not alone and hopefully you'll hear from them soon, but if you'd like to discuss your results with one of our nurses they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable in this field and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    In the meantime, you can find out more about having a colposcopy on our website.

    Kind regards,
