Hi everyone,
I'm 34 years old, a virgin apart from one night of drunken oral sex about 4 years ago. September 2021 I started experiencing bloody discharge, heavy and longer periods, abdominal pains, back ache. I was diagnosed with a kidney infection and the pains disappeared. I then started having a weird feeling inside my vagina. Like a vibrating, buzzing feeling and lower leg pain in my left leg. I ignored all these other symptoms until this week. I spoke to the doctor on the phone and I went in this morning for an examination. She did a pelvic exam and couldn't feel anything wrong. She also did a smear, my first one and it was horrific. It hurt so much and she was very unsympathetic. She rushed and just didn't care how much pain I was in.
I've also lost quite a lot of weight since September and I'm slightly anaemic, also extremely fatigued. I'm worried sick that I have cancer. I can't sleep or eat properly and I'm panicking so much. I've also read that you can have a normal smear and still have cancer. I'm terrified.
