@Former-Member@soul@Former-Member @everyone
else ive missed
i got my pelvic exam back today and ill be going to see my nurse tomorrow
im really freaking out
my diagnosis today was
LSIL HPV
is the cervical cells are midly abnormal. It is a HPV infection that may or may not go away on its own. I have to go for another pap tests in 6 months and if its grown I have to go to a gynacologist to seek furthur treatment
even though it may go away on its own but it will still be in my system
abnormal cells have been found on te surface of the cervix and at this point its pre malignant

hello @outlander
have you been able to see your nurse and find out some more information?
it is worrying not knowing.
usually if it is serious they do a biopsy and organise surgery straight away so advising you to have another pap smear in 6 months sounds as though they are just keeping a close watch which is probably standard procedure.
write about how you are feeling when you get a moment xxx
