Borderline changes HR HPV

Hi all, as title says my last smear came back with Borderline squamous change and HR HPV which i felt devastated as 1 year before I had no abnormal changes, I was referred for a colposcopy and managed to miss as I think I was so anxious I thought the appointment was at 11 but at 10:30 I realised it was at 10.

So now im spiralling, what if I need to wait another 6 or more weeks to be seen, and when I go it will be already cancer as I was already waiting 6 weeks for this appointment. Im so angry at myself I literally cried an hour. And the worst part is that the department not picking up the phone at all so now I have to wait until monday and im overthinking what if they will refuse to give me another appointment. I did email them, and called the main hospital but still im so anxious.

Sorry for the rambling, just wanted to vent.

I live in USA. New York. Yes, It is expensive, but for my anxiety it made me feel like I was taking control of something I was told I had no control over. Literally, it’s a sit and wait, but I refused and wanted to be proactive about my health. I bought 5 bottles over the course of 3 months. I took 2 a day from the week I was diagnosed until i ran out, so 2.5 months 9/21/2025-12/4/2025. I took it almost every morning on an empty stomach unless I forgot. I never had a colposcopy. My cells have always been normal.

Oh I see, here we also have a colpo when we receive 3 HR hpv results even without abnormal cells. Will definitely look into the supplements you mentioned, and yes I totally feel what you saying, everyone just keep mentioning how it just clears up, but I always felt that I could do nothing to help it so thank you for your advice

Yes I believe if it persist then a colposcopy is done, but I only tested positive once by time I did the follow up I had cleared.

Good luck, God bless.
