Before Christmas I found a hard lump on my cervix. Long history of CIN, had a leep 15 years ago. Recent smears all HPV negative, most recent March 2025. Not sexually active. 

Went to GP, she felt it and I had a 2ww referral to colposcopy. I was first appointment of the day, doctor was an hour and a half late due to accident on the road. Appointment very rushed. 

She looked and couldn’t see anything, put on some liquid and it didn’t show anything. Put on iodine which showed all clear. I asked why the lump. She said there was no lump. She showed me the tv screen where all looked normal pink. That was the end of the appointment. I can still feel the lump, in the exact same place. It has not gone, it was there! 

Should I go back to the GP and ask for a second opinion or trust the colposcopy doctor? No unexplained bleeding or any serious symptoms. Just a lump which is apparently not visible to the microscope thing. I can’t get it out of my mind! 

Thank you
