Abnormal cervical cells

An abnormal cervical screening test result means that you have changes in the cells covering the neck of your womb (cervix). These changes are not cancer.

Your biopsy result may show you have abnormal cell changes called CIN or CGIN. You might need treatment for the cell changes.

Most people feel fine after having treatment for abnormal cervical cells. Some may feel unwell and need to go home and rest. You will have some bleeding and pain following treatment for abnormal cervical cells.

If you are pregnant and have an abnormal screening test, what happens next will depend on your test result.
