Cervical cancer under 25?

I feel so embarassed to post this but I feel like i'm not going anywhere. My last period was last year in August and since then, i've not had a bleed. The only type of bleeding i've had is after sex, i'm still having a tint of blood when I wipe and it's been nearly 12 hours since intercourse. I'm 23 years old so have not been invited for a smear test. My doctor suggested pcos but was ruled out after having an internal scan which showed no cysts. I've had full blood tests done and the only ones abnormal were vitamin D, serum folate and testosterone which was slightly raised. I have started out getting lower back pain on my left hand side. We have been trying for a baby for nearly 3 years since I got my implant taken out and i'm just worried this is an underlying cervical cancer but it's going to go untreated because i'm not old enough to get tested, please help me. Has anyone been diagnosed with cancer under 25 and how did you manage to push for a smear test?

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with an ongoing health concern. It's understandable that you're concerned. Please do make an appointment to go back and see your GP, or another Dr at the surgery. It may be that with your continued symptoms they feel a referral to a gynaecologist would be appropriate. 

    I do hope you have some answers soon. 

    Best wishes,
