I apologise for the long post. I had my first cervical ecroptian 4 years ago, I started getting a heavy feeling at the bottom of my stomach with bloating and bleeding. Since then I have had it every year with having silver nitrate to treat the area. At the beginning of October of this year I had another ectropian which was treated with silver nitrate and was sent home. I was in awful pain and started bleeding very heavy so returned to hospital 4 days later which they repeated the process. Again I came home and was in bad pain with severe bleeding so returned to be cauterized for the third time within a week with silver nitrate. The gyneacologysts couldn't understand why it took 3 attempts to stop my bleeding. I've had blood tests, scans, urine samples and swabs which all came back okay. Ive been told to stop all contraception and been advised to be sterilised. 3 weeks later my symptoms are back and I'm in awful pain. I'm being sent back for more swabs doing in a few days but the doctor refused to even check out my cervix. I've been told I'll be having the electro therapy next time i have an ectropian but I'm so tired of being in pain and bleeding all of the time. I've also had HPV for the last 3 year's so all of the visits to the hospital are really getting to me. I feel like something's been missed is there anything else I can do i feel like I'm hitting a brick wall with doctors. Thank you for reading
