Just went to my gynecologist, had negative Pap smear and job done in 10/15, he mentioned that there is a small area in the cervix that is hard probably a fibroid but wants to do a biopsy in 3 weeks , should I worry?

Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

Fibroid is a benign tumor and it will not turn into cancer.

As your pap's smear is negative and you are not having any other symptoms, so most likely it is a benign growth and you should not be worried about it.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.

Good luck.
Regards
