hello,


i went to the gyno today to have a pap and get the HPV test.


i havent been to the gyno in 10 years,im 36 now.


i went because i had two dark looking freakles on the inside of my vagina,


i noticed them about alittle over a year ago,but thought maybe they always been there.


two months ago i checked and they were there still.


i checked last week and now it seems as if two more smaller ones appeared,along with a darkish color all around inside.


 


i seen a nurse practiner today,she said to come back next monday so the doctor can take a look,and i may get a biopsy.


 


does anyone have any idea what this can be?


what does a biopsy consist of?does it scar?does it hurt?


 


im pretty scared.


thanks for reading

Hi there,


A biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from the area for examination under a microscope.
