If your doctor takes a biopsy sample, you may feel mild cramps and pinching when he or she removes the abnormal tissue. Relaxing your muscles as much as possible and taking slow, deep breaths during the procedure may help. You may feel less discomfort if you take an over-the-counter pain reliever before the procedure. Ask your doctor whether you should take medicine, what kind to take, how much to take and when to take it. (When you ask, be sure to let your doctor know if you're pregnant or if you're allergic to aspirin or ibuprofen.)
How should I prepare to have a colposcopy?
You may be more comfortable if you empty your bladder and bowels before the procedure. Don't douche, use vaginal medications or tampons, or have sexual intercourse during the 24 hours before your appointment.

There is nothing to do but wait. Just because your pap showed abnormal cells does NOT mean you have HPV or cancer etc. It could well be something minor like severe cervicitis or an infection. Until you get the results back from the colposcopy try to think positive. Almost every women has an abnormal pap at one time or another in their life and it does not necessarily mean something bad.

I have had one before. Its not a big deal. When your pap shows abnormal cells...Dr.s just wanna make sure its not cancer or anything else. The procedure feels just like a pap so dont worry about it hurting too much. If it does turn out to be something....just be glad they caught it early and can treat it. you will be ok though. :)

Its usually not a big deal. There are many reason you might test positive not all of which are dangerous. You just need to rule some stuff out. So just relax and try not to think too much into it until you have another test.

i'm afraid you may have malignant lesions present in your cervix.
i advise you to seek further treatment before its too late. remember, prevention is better than cure.
