Colposcopy explained for ladies with abnormal pap test results.
The Colposcopy UK experience isn't as bad as you think. The Colposcopy and cervical biopsy or colposcopy biopsy follows a pap test (smear test). It's so important to have your smear test and follow through with the recommendations from the doctors if they recommend a colposcopy cervix biopsy.
To an extent, I am asked about colposcopy does it hurt? Colposcopy education is important, in this video I talk about colposcopy how is it done.
Please SHARE this video with any female friends who may have received an abnormal result.

I hope all is well with you x
Did you follow up. Mine is same. Am freaked out
Honestly I don't think you know how much women you are helping with this video. Thank you so much for this because it helps to puts one's mind at ease.
Your magical hands have relieved me of my pain and I can't find a way of thanking you enough, thank you *MR OBALAR* for curing my horribl *STD* ..❤
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm having my colposcopy tomorrow morning as they found low grade abnormal cells in my cervix. I've been beside myself with worry and can't eat because I'm so worried. I couldn't help but tear up watching this as I now feel a weight has been lifted from me. Congrats on you're end results ❤
Hi Danielle, I am glad you found this video comforting. Please try not to worry. Look after yourself. I wish you all the best. x
Anna's Big Adventure did you wear white socks at your exam?
@Jasmin Gonzales after 3 years of tests. I was discharged as there was no high risk thankfully x
@@daniellesmith4267 i have a cuestión ? Is protocol test hpv on biopsy?
Can't thank you enough for this incredibly calming video. I have my colposcopy tomorrow and you have reassured me more than I can say. Thank you x
+Melissa Waldron I hope all is well with you
thank you so much for making this video. i'm 35 and had my first abnormal smear and scheduled for a colposcopy in a few days i was so depressed and freaking out thinking the absolute worst. thank you for making this video i don't feel as nervous now. i really needed this, thank you.
Thank you for this!!! I have ny colpscopy in a few hours, you've really helped put my mind at rest x
I hope it was all ok for you. :)
Thank you very much! I just got my results of my regular pap smear, and it came back abnormal. I am waiting for the GYN to call me back to schedule my colposcopy. To say the least, I am very worried and concerned. My mind immediately went to cervical cancer or something that will cause me to be infertile. Your video has put me at ease, still concerned but feel more prepared for what to expect with this upcoming visit.
+Jessi Culbertson Hi Jessi, please try not to worry. My best friend missed her test for 7 years and then when she had her pap they got her STRAIGHT in for a colposcopy, it turned out that she had cancer and yet within a few months they had treated her and she is now completely well and cancer free. My point is, firstly, if your results showed major (worrying) changes then they will act fast (rather than the norm of making you wait for appointments etc), secondly Cervical Cancer has one of the highest cure and survival rates (because the screening process works so effectively). You are in safe hands, most of this is just precautionary and even worse case scenario isn't as scary as it use to be. I would love to know how you get on. I was recently recalled (and again felt nervous etc) but it was a false alarm and all my cells were perfectly normal. Best of luck. x
@@AnnasBigAdventure This really put me at ease. Thank you Anna.
Hi jessi , 5 years later hope you are ok. I have a cuestión . Is protocol test hpv virus on biopsy ?
Hi, I have just received my letter asking me to attend a colposcopy after my smear revealed abnormal cells. This video helped calm my fears but I am just crossing my fingers that it's nothing serious. Thanks for the insight, much appreciated. Well done for being brave for three years, glad you're all clear.
+Laura Howard Hi Laura, Have you been yet? I hope everything has gone well. :)
OMG, thank you so much. I am crying since my doctor called me. This is my second time with abnormal cells but the first time they are going to do this study.
Don't panic, everything will be ok
Had my colposcopy today and it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. But the endometrial biopsy😱
Your magical hands have relieved me of my pain and I can't find a way of thanking you enough, thank you *MR OBALAR* for curing my horribl *STD* ..❤
Thank you for your calm explanation. You seem to be such a sweetheart
I'm freaking out, your video really helped, I go next week.
+kelly cabrera Best of luck, please don't freak out. x
I’m having a colposcopy done tomorrow and I’m so scared. I got a call from my doctor saying that the pap results were high grade squamous cells. She told me that there’s a high chance of it being cancer. Since then I’ve been so worried. Watching this has helped me a bit.
Update?
I went today, extremely uncomfortable experience for me. The speculum always hurts. I didn’t feel the first two samples but that last one felt like a rip (not a painful rip) but you definitely feel it! I’m hoping everything comes back negative.
Fingers crossed for you.
Thank you, I have my colposcopy soon and I am so scared. You've made me feel so much better. ❤️
I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
@@AnnasBigAdventure thank you, I appreciate it. ❤️
I have had colposcopies and yet still had myself so worked up about my next one in a couple of weeks. Your video calmed me and made me realize that the colposcopy and punch biopsies are not as bad as I had remembered:)
+Renee McMillen Good luck Renee. I hope it all goes well. I had to have another one just before Christmas and I too was a little nervous but everything was absolutely fine. x
Thank you....you have put my mind at ease and I'm not fearful of my appointment this week!
I hope all went well x
You're heaven sent. Thank you so much for this video.
I had one about 6 years ago. It was so painful!!! I was holding s nurses’ hand. I was holding so tightly and she had to let go!!! It seemed to go on forever!!! So now a new dr once again wants to do this procedure but I told them no! It was just too painful.
Tank u for this video my worries gone..my colposcopy appointment this coming saturday.
Best of luck. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you for sharing your story, these things are not talked about often enough.
I’m currently waiting for the hospital to call me to book in my LEEP procedure. I’m beyond frightened
I’m sorry to hear that you are frightened. For me the procedure was relatively easy and not that painful. Having this procedure will protect you from those abnormal cells from turning into cancer. It’s the best thing. Try not to worry. All the best. X
I have mine in two weeks. I got the call during work and I was on the verge of tears, I was shaking and nervous. I looked up the procedures (not a good idea) and psyched myself up even more. I was scared. Thank you for the video. I will keep watching it for reassurance until then 🥰
Please don’t be get yourself worked up. I do remember how scared I felt when I first heard the news that I needed to go for a colposcopy. It’s just like a bigger smear test appointment. The fact that they have scheduled it for two weeks is also a good sign. If they thought it was really serious then you would be straight in. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Going for mine tomorrow. This video calmed me down. Thank you.
Such a wonderful reassuring presentation
Blessings 🙌
Thank you for this video! I have had 2 pap tests come back abnormal and next Tuesday Aug.3rd I have to have a colonoscopy and I'm terrified! Totally stressed out about it ;( Part of me wants to cancel it and the other part of me says I have to do it .. watching this has made me feel a little bit better about it so Thank you ❤
Thank you i have mine on the 8th and im soo scared it looked painful but thank you! You made me feel much better
Hope it all went well
My most recent pap smear results came back 😩 abnormal for the first time ever in my life & I missed my appointment out of fear. When I gain more knowledge & confidence to actually get this procedure done, I will make another appointment. Watching your video assured me that with GODFIDENCE, all things are possible 🙌🏽
Please do go for your appointment. Time is of the essence and the earlier you can catch these changes the better. The colposcopy itself if nothing to fear.
Makes me feel so much better, thank you
Thankyou so much, I have to have a Colposcopy and concerned about what the results will be as I always think the worst. Also anxious about the procedure but feel much more reassured x x x
+Claire Atkins You are welcome Claire, please don't be anxious and good luck x
I had a colposcopy a few days ago. It was painful to me. The actual biopsy wasn't that bad but the instrument used to open the vagina up was PAINFUL. I couldn't sit on my bottom for about 24 hours. For me, this was a lot different than a yearly pap smear.
Christine Kelly what you mean ? I am freaking out
Sorry it was painful for you. When I had mine with the biopsy a few years ago it was extremely painful. I Already have pain when anything is inserted so that made it worse. I keep having abnormal paps so I have to have another biopsy done and I'm not looking forward to it.
I keep crying bc I have to get my exam on Friday. I am sooooooo worked up and freaked out.
Thank you so MUCH..i was about to lose it😭 i have to go in this Thursday and i was a lil bit worried Thank you JESUS🙌 i came across this video
I hope your appointment went ok today. Wishing you all the best.
@@AnnasBigAdventure sis they rescheduled the Appointment to next week
Thanks for sharing I've been so nervous I have an appointment coming up soon your video has helped calm my nerves.
I hope everything went well. x
Wonderful and informative video thank you.
+Sharee Legotte Thank you :)
I got my first colposcopy done today, felt anxious at the thought of waiting for results but this video has calmed me. got biopsies and also the loop (diathermy pad on leg one). she said it all looks precancerous x
I have my fingers crossed for you. X
How are you feeling now? What were the results
Your magical hands have relieved me of my pain and I can't find a way of thanking you enough, thank you *MR OBALAR* for curing my horribl *STD* ..❤
This video was very helpful and calmed me down...thank you!
Hi Kristi, Im glad it calmed your nerves. All the best. x
How are you now ?please Can you Replay
already had this procedure done twice. basically its just a bit deeper exam and a bit longer. like a pap, its not painful, just feels like an alien ship exam...very strange feeling.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you! I’m having mine done Friday morning!
I hope it went well.
Anna's Big Adventure It wasn’t as bad as I thought! Now I have to be patient for the results! Thank you!!
Sondra Harris how were your results ?!
Omg, at almost 50 years old, this hurt...BADLY!!!!!😱
I’m sorry to hear that. Glad you have had it done though, much better than the alternative. Wishing you all the best. :)
@@AnnasBigAdventure thank you 😊
thank you for this video!
You are welcome. Hope you are ok.
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you!
Hy dear ... how u now everything normal now
Had mine today.It was not painful at all,however about 3 hours after I had to take painkillers for pain.Whoever is afraid of this....dont be!!!!
Thank you for this I’m having mine next week I’m so scared that I’ve been given diazepam
@FS-mz3tu Do not worry!It's not painful!You will be allright!
@@DitaNoire thank you for this your really reassuring me, this has caused a lot of sleepless nights for me.
I understand, I am also health cautious especially with my female organs!Get your self a tea called a Lady's Mantles,it's by far the best tea for health of uterus and all gynecology disbalance. Good luck to you and God bless.
Is colposcopy painful? Has it an Impact later on after biopsy is done?
Im having one tm and im reading awful comments. I consider myself a well tolerable pain person. But i dont know what to expect.
I had a colposcopy and punch biopsy done a few days ago and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
The latter didn’t hurt when the doctor did it but I started having a cramp (similar to a menstrual one) while she was cleaning the blood off my cervix. She said it’s normal so I took a painkiller to help with that. It was uncomfortable for me to sit while wearing pants after the procedure and it lasted till the next day so I’d suggest wearing a skirt to your appointment. It doesn’t really hurt. Felt like running water over a wound. Expect bleeding for a couple of days too. I have to wait about a week or two for my result, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it isn’t too bad. My diagnosis for the colposcopy was HSIL/Grade 2
Thank you for sharing your experience. Fingers crossed for a good result for you. :)
I had mine done they think I'm grade 2 to grade 3 ..but I'm suffering swollen stomach and back and hip pain for past 15 weeks Xx
I had a negative Pap test but a high risk HPV result. I wonder if I have to have one these. I guess I'll know soon.
Turning down the music volume would help
I never have it done due to very sensitively to pain.
It's not really painful. It is important to have your smears done. The discomfort is worth it I promise you x
Thank you so much. I've just been told I have abnormal cell mass covering over half my cervix.... :-( I have my Colposcopy and biopsy next week and am freaking out :-( My doctor thinks I have Cervical Cancer and I really have no idea what to expect :-(
I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you Bonnie, please let me know how things progress. My best friend had cervical cancer and the doctors cured her pretty quickly, but it was of course a very scary experience for her.
Hi just wondering how are you now did you have the cancer? Asking cause I been having abnormal paps for years
J Brooks, only just saw this now but yes, it was a high grade cervical cyst (cancerous) but I had the biopsy and surgery to have it removed. I'm still on 6 monthly checks. Close call indeed.
@@bonnieross9334how are you doing now?
What did they say about if you would want to have kids after this? Will you be a high risk?
No it's absolutely fine. You can have children without any issues following a colposcopy.
Hi I just had my colposcopy and I am 5 months pregnant my doctor said it didn't look that bad.Do you think I should worry ?
Trust your doctor, if they say it looks ok then all will be fine. :)
Going in for my 3rd colposcopy and I'm kind of sad that it has not gone away on its own like I was told. I want something to be done but they keep telling me to come back in a year
Angesca721 I went for many over a number of years, eventually they did some treatment and now I have been clear for nearly 2 years. Its so much better to be safe so I am glad that they are keeping an eye on you. :)

@@golisha5871explain?
Im so scared!!! I just got a call that my 1st pap smear was abnormal and i have to go bck and do another....does this procedure have anything to to with the chances of conceiving?
08Tremillo Please don't panic. If they are simply calling you back for a second smear then that means that they are not overly concerned. Plus even if you do have a lot of abnormal cells it has no bearing on whether or not you can conceive. I had treatment and I am fine now - I should be able to have children as easily as if I hadn't had treatment xx
I am having one tomorrow! Really scared!
I hope it went well.
Are you still going to be able to carry a pregnancy with these procedures?
Absolutely, I recently had a son no problems
Did you have freezing/anaesthetic for the biopsy?
No I didn’t. Overall I had a number of biopsy’s and honestly they are not painful. It’s just like being pinched, it’s minimal and takes a second. Afterwards my cervix ached (light period cramp type feeling). Hope that helps.
Anna's Big Adventure TMI coming here. then you have/had some miracle doctor or numbness in the body (B12 Def?). 5 days later human tissue skin chunks (2”) blood etc still coming out as let down. Swollen ankles. This was an absolute butcher job perhaps I had a terrible doctor then (I’m being serious) here we have this done with no anaesthesia -cervical and endometrial biopsies alike. Wish I had the same story as yours. 😔
Thank you for sharing
How long did the whole procedure take?
Not long, probably about 10 minutes.
@@AnnasBigAdventure That's good to know
Mines next month but added bonus of a virus too 😔
I’m so worried I’m getting this done June 13
Don't worry. It is good to be under observation. :)
did you wear white socks at your exam
Its too painful for fibromyalgia and sciatica people. Just ignore it and dont get treatment. Its not worth it
Cancer is far worse. My best friend left it and she ended up having cervical cancer in her early 30s. She had to have a hysterectomy to save her live and that was so much more pain and discomfort. Don't leave it.
“Just ignore it and get cancer and have it spread to your body” huh?????
I'm having one today. I am petrified!!!
Don't be scared. You will be ok x
