Hi all,
i’m new here. I recently had a smear this week after not having one for nearly 8 years. I have only two symptoms which is discharge and lower back pain however, both i put a reason for them like body changing after a baby etc. No one I know really talks about discharge and quite frankly I found it rather embarrassing. I had a negative Sti test so I thought it was fine. During my examination the nurse said I had started to bleed quite a bit and said that my cervix was really red, raw and angry. Her face said a 1000 words. After the examination I bled quite heavy for some time. The nurse told me that she would be sending an urgent referral even without having the smear results. I’m a bit worried now, it’s my own fault I should have had thesme smear 5 years ago when the symptoms started. Just wanted to know if anyone else had been referred before having the results?
