If you know the cause you can do something ...Cassie is a 25 year old sports teacher in a large comprehensive school. She went to her GP for her first cervical smear test and was shocked when her smear result showed abnormal, severe pre-cancerous cells. She experienced no symptoms and was feeling very healthy. She was referred to a consultant gynaecologist for a sound diagnosis and a gynaecology examination of her cervix with a microscope (colposcopy procedure). Two liquids painted on her cervix showed an area of pre-cancerous change which although abnormal had not yet become cancer. She later had a small operation to shave off the pre-cancerous cells (loop excision) and after two weeks her cervix had healed back to normal. Four months later Cassie had another colposcopy screening and cervical smear test came back clear. . |
