Hi little background in 2024 I had High rate HPV and low grade cells. Had my first colposcopy Jan 2025 saw some cells said to have another smear but was missed on being ask for one which today the nurse was shocked and checking what happens with my discharge. Anyway I have since then had bleed after sex, very painful when having sex, lower back pains and UTIs with blood in urine on and off for 7/8 months my GP sent me straight back to gyne had a smear and colposcopy again she said there was more cells this time but still mild so she’s waiting on the smear results. I am obviously in my head a little bit wondering if anyone else has had this experiences or similar and what to expect? I did over hear as the other nurse was talking to me that she’s was going to a biopsy anyway and they also used something to remove something by else so I don’t think that’s helped either as this time the screen was behind my head so I didn’t see the changes.
