A member asked:

Wat is my chance of having cervical cancer if i had a smear about 4weeks ago and im going to get a coloposcopy now?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not high: The reason we do pap smears is to catch abnormalities prior to cancers. It is highly important to follow up and get the colposcopy because even though cancer is unlikely it can only be treated / prevented by early inteervention.

Depends : If your doctors are doing colposcopy it may indicate initial abnormal cells.Is hpv positive?
