I just have some questions.. I am 23yrs
old and had my first pap smear.. and yes,
it came back abnormal. And I was told I
have high risk HPV.
So on tuesday, I went in for a colposcopy.
It didn't hurt or anything, just kind of
embarrasing and nerve racking.
My question is that they took 5 biopsy's..
Is this normal? I have talked with friends
and they have stated that they had 1 or
two samples taken. One of my friends who
actually had cervical cancer only had
three samples taken. Does that matter?
The one @ "six o'clock" (the dr was noting
the location) she said looked bad and she
was going to take first. She said it would
hurt the most.. it didn't but when she
used the word bad, it just freaked me out.
If you have any information, or self
experiences, please please share!
