Yes, you can have an abnormal test again. My sister went through this and had treatment. She had to have treatment a few times, but she's okay now. It's just something you'll have to go through, even though it's hard. It's better to take care of the problem now, and avoid a potentially worse situation. Treatment for cancer is far worse than treatment for abnormal cells. I've seen both happen to people, and neither is good, but cancer is wayyyy worse. Hang in there, and good luck.

Do your research before you choose a hysterectomy. That is a major surgery that does not 'cure' HPV - the most likely cause of abnormal cells. You can still get abormal cells, but instead of getting them on your cervix, they will be on your vagina.

A hysterectomy may be best for you. But research and a thorough discussion with your doctor should be the first steps. The other treatments are much easier to deal with than a hysterectomy.

Good luck at your smear!
