Scared of cervical cancer

Hi everyone

This is a bit of a long one so please bare with me.

I am 30 years old with 2 children and I have had the mirena coil for 2 years now. 

I have had no issues since having it fitted but for the last few months I have had constant spotting, brown watery discharge and pink watery discharge and bleeding after sex also period pains and sharp pains. 

My last smear was also 2 years ago. 

In June I had a Pelvic PT scan which just found kidney stones and a MRI scan which didn't show anything , I have also recently had an internal vaginal scan and a pelvic scan (in October ) both didn't show anything unusual. 

I have convinced myself I have cervical cancer and wonder if it would have been picked up with the tests I have ? 

I am of course going to request further test and possibly removing the coil but as it's Christmas I have to wait till the end of Jan for my appointment with the gynecologist so I think I am just looking for a bit of advice/reassurance. 

Thank you 

  • Hi HAV123, 

    I just came across your post and noticed you had some questions about the tests you've had so far. Unfortunately I can't answer these, but our team of cancer nurses may be able to help so if you'd like to ask them about this and anything else that's been playing on your mind, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to offer you the reassurance you're seeking at this time.

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with similar symptoms will share their stories and advice with you soon but in the meantime, we're thinking of you HAV and hope everything turns out o.k.

    Kind regards,
