Hi new to this, just looking for some peace of mind.
seen my gp today as for the past five weeks I have been experience high levels of pain in my abdomen and lower back, with a dark mucus discharge which doesn't smell very nice (tmi sorry) gp has taken a swab, and carried out a smear test along with a internal examination, which was very painful when adding pressure to my adomen. She didn't give anything away, but said let's see how the results come back in he meantime she would refer me for an internal scan, again not really saying why. She questioned my sex life, which is non existent due to it being uncomfortable most of the time and No new sexual partners either.
I have experienced very uncomfortable smears tests over the past 18 months, where in January I had a Lletz procedure to remove CIN 1/2 which came back all clear at the six month check up.
I wasn't worried at first, until she mentioned the scan, she said they don't just offer scans for no reason. She's now got me worried about why she feels I need a referral, now need to wait for these results and my scan appointment.
has anyone else had similar symptoms, or anyone that can offer any advice, currently worrying, hopefully it will be all be for nothing.
sorry for the long post
