    Yes. I went for the colposcopy in the Coombe, the staff were very friendly, and it all came back fine. The procedure's not a barrel of laughs, but no worse than a smear really. Try not to worry.

    I had colposcopy in 2008 after a irregular smear and it showed CIN111, I had to have lletz laser treatment, it was fine, I've had no abnormalities since then.

    Yes and had biopsy. Waiting on results. The doc brushed off the glandular diagnosis even though everything I have read online says it needs further evaluation as there may be problems unseen by colposcope.

    Thanks for asking and I hope you are well now

    Colposcopies are a bit more involved than a smear. Mine used some pieces of kit, such as a camera, that I've never seen in a Well Woman clinic, so I'd imagine that there's just nowhere local to you that is equipped to do them.

    Tell your Missus to try not to worry; I had one and it was fine, and so have many other people. They send you for one if there's the slightest change.
