Please help !!
Hi, I'm just writing to have peace of mind as I'm really worried.
I am 20 years old and I have been feeling my cervix because I want to try for a baby with my fiancé.
I had a feel and my cervix felt slightly rough in one patch so immediately my anxiety went through the roof.
I have regular periods and have only ever been on the pill for 3 months in October 2016 then came off it, so I've not had an oral contraceptive for nearly 4 years .
I've had the same sexual partner for 4 years so I don't think it could be an STI.
I was so worried that I took a look at my cervix with great difficulty. When I saw my cervix there was a red patch on the bottom of it just under my cervical os, not all the way round it just underneath the 'hole' on the cervix really. This is what felt rough. When I see photos of ectropion it looks more like that however it's only on the bottom half of my cervix.
Immediately my heart dropped and 100000 things went through my mind. I can't get to a doctor because of convid or have a smear test because I'm only 20.
I feel no pain or bleeding with this, or any symptoms other than a rough red patch. I'm so scared this is pre cancerous cells or something. I had my HPV vaccine at age 12 and 13.
Will it affect my fertility? I'm terrified I won't be able to get pregnant. Or have something wrong with my cervix.
