Thank you my sweet. Which meant i am in the middle. But it does not mean you have cancer. So any ladies out there thinking the worst, please dont :.

Hi did your went under general intelligence for biopsy because reason asking because my partner cant go under general intelligence because her illness she has HPV called borderline infection in a cervix since she very worry. Anyway i hope feeling better. I received a phone call yesterday 27th December from my local hospital completely out of the blue asking me when I can book for my colposcopy - I had my smear at the beginning of Dec and not yet had a letter.
When I explained this to them, they said I had "abnormal cells" found during my smear and that I had to book an emergency appointment before they two week deadline from when they received the results - the nearest appointment is deadline day on 7th Jan.
Having not received any letter yet and having zero information on what is going on, the past 30 hours have been hell. This is my second smear with the first coming back normal.

And I've got another 9 days to wait! I'm not nervous with regards to the colposcopy procedure itself, I'm just looking for clarity with regards to treatments. I can't have injections and pain doesn't bother me in the sightest - is there a treatment that doesn't involve anesthetic? I've seen the loop procedure - does this involve local anesthetic into your actual vagina? How is this administered? Cream or injection?
I've also seen about laser procedures - anyone know any further info on this treatment? Additionally, I've not long started a new job that is a year contract, so as you can imagine I really really don't want to have to take the day off.
My appointment is at 9am and I have to be back in work for 10am. I'll pretty much be on my feet until 3pm - is this do-able? I understand everyone is different, but looking for a general idea. Skip to main content. Post to forum. Search Search forum.

This stands for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. Squamous cells are naturally present on the surface of even the healthiest cervix, the Mayo Clinic explains.
An ASCUS result often signals that these cells have changed slightly in response to an HPV infection , but they can also change a bit as a result of inflammation from issues like yeast infections and benign polyps or cysts.
