Amy Hart explained that she has had a colposcopy and that abnormalities in the cervix may need to be removed.

In May, the hospital urged women not to skip the Pap smear when the results became “credible” after a previous group of results gave a positive diagnosis for HPV.

And on Tuesday, Amy Hart, 29, said she had an “irritating” colposcopy and the nurse said, “They look like high-quality cells!” she explained that as she said, abnormalities in her cervix might need to be removed.

The Love Island star explained that during the procedure – to check for abnormal cells – she “bled a lot” and needed to take biopsies that would be sent to a lab for further testing.

Speaking to her camera phone about the videos shared on Instagram, Amy said, “The colposcopy. It was very uncomfortable when it was done. It’s pretty uncomfortable now.

‘I was bleeding a lot. Much of the discomfort was that they had to try to stop the bleeding as if applying pressure.

“The lovely nurse who took care of me before I walked in said she would only do the biopsies if it was really necessary and she should do the biopsies herself.

“Then he told me they looked like high-quality cells in the photos, so I’ll probably have to go back there to remove them.

What happened? Love Islander explained that she bled “a lot” during the procedure and had to take biopsies that would be sent to a lab for further testing.

Candid: Amy’s update came after she revealed she had tested positive for HPV when she had a Pap smear; This means that doctors have to repeat the test if cervical cancer is a precursor.

“But still, only remove them when really needed, because the more you take, the more likely you are to deliver prematurely if you have babies.

“But let’s hope everything goes well!”

In closing, Amy insisted, “So my general message to Cervical Cancer Awareness Week is to make sure you get there on time and get a Pap smear if possible.”

The most common way to remove abnormal cells is to use a procedure called transformation zone large ring excision (LLETZ).

If your doctor or nurse needs to remove a large piece of tissue from your cervix, they may recommend a cone biopsy.

According to Public Health England, women who become pregnant after the abnormal cells are removed are not at risk of preterm birth if they receive standard treatment.

However, if more cervical tissue needs to be removed, women are slightly more likely to have it 1 to 2 months earlier.

This can occur in about 16% (16 out of 100) of women who have had more extensive treatment and subsequently have a baby.

It comes after Amy tweeted in May: “A random reminder to get a late Pap smear, please girls.

“My Pap smear was unreliable, so I’m moving on to the next set of tests. Don’t leave it!’

The reminder came weeks after she shared that she had tested positive for HPV from her Pap smear, meaning doctors had to repeat the test if it was a precursor to cervical cancer.

HPV stands for Human Papillomavirus, defined by the NHS as a “common group of viruses”. Some types can cause genital warts or cancer.

Amy, who has been dating boyfriend Sam Rason for a year, briefed fans about her diagnosis in a question-and-answer session, while re-discussing the importance of getting a screening and the fact that five minutes at a screening can save your life. life.

He said: “I did my research and found that 80% of men and women will have HPV in their lifetime. It’s a virus. It turns out that’s pretty normal.

“Last year I had a Pap smear. He came back with HPV. They said they would come back in a year, so I came back today. He said the results will be out in two weeks. If I have HPV, I will examine my cells and do a biopsy of the cells, so that’s where they are now.”

Honest: Amy, who has been dating boyfriend Sam Rason for a year, told fans about her HPV positive diagnosis during a question-and-answer session and discussed the importance of screening.

Reminder: In May, Amy took the opportunity to bring home the importance of a Pap smear test, when her latest cervical screening meant she needed more testing.

During a cervical cancer screening appointment, a small sample of cells is taken from the cervix.

The sample will be checked for certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause changes in the cells of the cervix. These are called high-risk HPV types.

If these HPV types are not found, no further testing is required.

If this type of HPV is detected, it will be checked for any changes in the sample cervix cells. These can then be treated before they have a chance of developing cervical cancer.
