A 52 year old woman attends for a cervical smear test. Her doctor later contacts her and asks her to return because the smear was abnormal. The doctor recommends colposcopy, that is endoscopic examination of the cervix and vagina, but is unable to say whether the result of the smear showed pre-cancerous changes or not – in fact the concern may be technical. The woman is extremely concerned and not especially reassured that it may be a false alarm.
