I have cervical dysplsia and I am 23 as well. I've had 2 colposcopies, and they aren't pleasant. It's not the colposcopy that's the bad part--it's the biopsies, and they hurt, especially if you have a sensitive cervix. I find paps to hurt, so if that tells you anything... My advice is to take some ibuprofin before you go in. If you are feeling anxious about it (I know I was, both times!!) ask your doc to prescribe you a valium or something to take before the appt. My doc did that, but it wasn't strong enough, so I was still anxious. Oh, and the doc might not take biopsies if he doesn't see anything. Nobody prepared me for what a colposcopy was going to be like, and I'm pretty sure I have a low pain tolerance, so it might not be that bad for you. Good luck. I hope this helps...
