    please please relax. abnormal cells on the cervix are very common. I had those years ago and nothing ever came of it. I had a colposcopy also.

    had hpv . What usually happens is eventually the HPV goes away on its own. that’s what happened to me! just keep getting your yearly Pap tests.

    I have known many women who had abnormal cells, got the colposcopy, and everything was fine.

    even in the rare instance, somebody has cancer there, it’s highly curable!

    but I have a feeling you’re just going to be fine. The vast majority of women don’t have issues after this. Relax your mind, listen to some soothing meditations . Don’t overthink any of this. Take care!❤
