Advice please

Hi I'm looking for some advice , been experiencing groin pain both sides of the vagina and a dull ache , occasionally a sharp pain which is coming from inside , brown discharge although no periods since 2018 as had endometrial ablation for heavy periods , today had appointments with the nurse who said was cervix was inflamed , I'm not sexually active at all and history of genital warts about 20 years ago , any advice- should I be worried, Cath 

  • Hi Cath, and thanks for posting. 

    I'm afraid we are unable to say if there is anything the matter as we cannot diagnose, but an inflamed cervix does not necessarily mean anything sinister.

    Inflammation of the cervix can happen due to infection or thrush, and can be associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. 

    You haven't said whether this was a cervical screening appointment, or whether anything else was done or discussed, but I'm sure you will know more soon. If you do have further concerns it might be good to talk them through with the practise nurse that you saw.

    Take care,

    Sarah.
