[quote=Anonymous]I've had to do this 5 years in a row. They do the HPV test on you and see if you test positive for one of the 8 strains that account for like 90% of all cervical cancer. For you, it sounds like this already happened and it came back positive. When you test positive, the next step is the coloscopy. They look at your cervix, and if they see any cells that look abnormal, they biospy it to see what it is. If it's cancerous, they you have minor, out-patient surgery to have it removed. It's not fun, but it's not anything scary either. Nothing has ever come back from my coloscopy's, even when my gyn has taken some cells for testing. Most women are able to rid their bodies naturally of HPV. For those of us with the high risk strains however, if we are unable to kick it, a yearly coloscopy just becomes routine. [/quote]
