    My friend is off for a colposcopy soon.

    Abnormal smears are quite common and if there was a problem the colposcopy would shouw it and then they would burn or freeze off the irregular cells.

    My mum had abnormal smears for a year or so, all is well now.

    She had to have smears every three months for a while there.

    Re: abnormal smears

    hi

    i had a borderline smear in jan 2005, i had a repeat 6 months later which was normal, then i had another 2 repeats 6 months apart and they was normal aswell, i was then told i dont need to go back till 2010. i did start worrying about it again especially after all the press with jade goody but my dr told me that if there was any doubt they would remove the cells, have you back for more repeats etc. she says anything can cause a smear to be borderline/abnormal.

    you will be absolutely fine your dr cannot risk being wrong
