skyblue1 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Got my smear test results and it's basically saying i'm on the borderline with my cells changing. In 4 months next i need to get another test gone. The cells can go back to normal or if not treatment is needed. Has anyone got this before? Quote Link to comment
EvaGina Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 My good friend has. she ended up having to get cells cut out. She is fine now, and it just felt like bad period cramps for a few days. No heavy lifting allowed. -hug- Youll be fine sweetheart, this is more common than you may think Quote Link to comment
BeStrongBeHappy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yes, it is quite common. you can get that result for lots of reasons, from a yeast infection to other kinds of infections, some requiring more treatment than others... the body can heal itself sometimes without treatment, too... depending on the particular problem. even if it is a problem, there are lots of techniques they use now, from chemicals, to freezing the tissue, to lasers, etc. So depending on the problem, it might not be a big deal at all, no treatment, or a simple treatment in the doctor's office. anyway, it usually happens to every woman at least once, and no cause for major alarm becuase you are being watched and if they think it necessary, can take care of the problem quickly...

EvaGina Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 ^^ yep, even SOAP can mess things up and give you an "abnormal" smear Quote Link to comment
afonselaca Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I had a colposcopy when I was 19 for cervical dysplasia. It was important to get checked every six months for a few years after that. Then I had an abnormal test result after my 2nd pregnancy (5 years ago) but that turned out to be a false alarm when I went back a few months later. Just take it easy and keep in mind you are being responsible and proactive with your body and doing the best you can do by getting your paps done. Try not to waste negative energy worrying on it... just think about the positive aspect of being on top of it. hugs! Quote Link to comment
