Receiving news of an abnormal smear (cervical screening) result can feel worrying, but it doesn’t always mean there’s a serious problem. In most cases, it simply means that changes have been found in the cells of your cervix that may need further investigation or monitoring.
At Ovara Health, we offer compassionate, expert-led care for women with abnormal smear results — from thorough assessments to tailored treatment and clear guidance every step of the way.
Cervical screening aims to detect early cell changes that could, if left untreated, develop into cervical cancer. An abnormal smear may indicate:
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection
- Borderline or low-grade cell changes (mild dyskaryosis)
- Moderate to severe cell changes (moderate or severe dyskaryosis)
- Inflammation or infection that may require treatment
Most changes are not cancer, and many resolve on their own — but early follow-up is key to preventing progression.
If treatment is needed, we provide gentle, effective options tailored to your needs:
LLETZ (Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone)
A common procedure to remove abnormal cells under local anaesthetic. Quick, safe, and often completed in one visit.
Cryotherapy
Freezing abnormal cells to destroy them. Used in certain low-grade cases.
Monitoring Only
For mild or borderline changes, regular smear tests or colposcopies may be all that’s needed.
At Ovara Health, our clinicians will discuss every step with you, ensuring you feel informed and supported in your decision.
If you’ve received an abnormal smear result or have been referred for further assessment, don’t delay. At Ovara Health, we provide expert evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment in a caring, supportive setting.
