Abnormal pap...little freaked out

Hi. I just got the call today. I'll be seen in a few weeks for the colpscopy (sp). Kinda scary. I have hpv. Had a few flare ups in my early 20's but none since. I'm now 30. I'm sure the abnormalcy could be a ton of things but could it be a flare up of the hpv? I can deal with that.....not cancer. Any thoughts??

Re: Abnormal pap...little freaked out

I wouldnt worry too much since many, many women get abnormal paps and for so many it turns out to be nothing. And even if it is more moderate or severe, the colposcopy will enable the doc to get some tissue for biopsy to check everything. I dont think you need to worry so much unless some news comes after your colposcopy biopsies. Its not really worth the worry beforehand, you'll just stress too much, though I know it's easier said than done. I had a surprise myself last yr, had the colposcopy, then a cold knife cone; then I had follow up paps every 3-4 months, which came out fine, until my last one a few months ago. All of a sudden it was HSIL again out of the blue. But you know what, until I hear back from her about the results, I cant let myself get in a panic over it, it really does no good to stress yourself even more. Plus all that stress may contribute to the bodys inability to rid of the hpv. My doc even asked me if I was under alot of stress. I have been, but that was because of severe pain from other medical issues, and having to take different sorts of steroids in different forms, which also lowers ones immunity. So im not sure why mine is suddenly looking bad again after a clear margin cone & a few clear paps. So just wanted you to know others have been through this and try not to worry unless you hear news that is cause for worry.

Re: Abnormal pap...little freaked out

Bay, thank you so much. I know that worrying is not going to do me any good at all. I have 2 small children and you know you always think the worst. What if? What if? What if? Im gonna try to not think about it. They wanted to wait until the 11th of FEB to get me in! I was like, "I don't think so". ANyway, thanks again...
