Hi jessica, Of course you are worried,but try not to be over anxious,you are being looked after,it is a test you are having,they are just making sure everything is ok,

we are lucky here that these tests are done, have a good talk to your mum or an auntie,or maybe even better one of your nans,they are really wise you know,don't bottle things inside,that will make you more anxious,

so promise me you will make a point of talking,even go back to the doctor and tell him/her your concerns, Take care,thinking of you, Ray xx

OOOPS,pressed wrong button! Meant to say that when i was 17 i had an abnormal smear - pre-cancerous cells.They decided to repeat the smear a little while later and that one came back all clear.I asked how this was possible and was told that some cells change and can then right theirselves.

Im sure that everything wil be fine - big hug to you.x

Jessica, don't worry.

Abnormal cells are extremely common. I can't say it with complete certainty but because they are so common and because of the developments within your body smears before the age of 25 are now not very informative. Not sure if it's the right word but you know what I mean.

So don't worry and don't work yourself up about the results. You will be absolutely fine.

All the best.

Hi Jessica. I've had an abnormal smear done (though I was slightly older than yourself - did you request a smear or were there underlying symptoms that caused you to have it done?) and they retested and it came back negative! Apparently your menstrual cycle affects the cells and this can explain it somehow.

If the result was positive for pre-cancerous cells, remember they're precancerous and it's extremely rare for anyone your age to have this type of cancer! (Though apparently quite common for tests to show up abnormal calls, oh well!). I believe the cells are zapped with a laser, and that's the end of that! Nothing to worry about unduly, so try to enjoy the rest of your weekend and don't think too much about it. Best wishes xxx

I had the same thing,then went on to have laser treatment,I have to have smears every year now, just to be on the safe side. Hope you get on ok :o)

I was about 23 when I had an abnormal cells smear test. A second test was done with the same results and I ended up having a cone biopsy. After that I had a smear test every year for a few years and now I have gone to the normal smear test routine. It is now 20 years since I had the cone biopsy and I have been clear ever since. Once it has been sorted out then I'm sure you'll be fine.
