Hi, I hope you are all well.
I am having some sort of symptoms for the past few months which I am unsure if they could be related to cervical cancer. I had my smear test done probably 4 years ago and I remembered it came back normal, however I remember the nurse that took a sample said there was blood in the sample so she was unsure if lab will be even able to perform test. I received a letter later saying everything was okay. I also remember when I was around 19-20 years old gynecologist told me I have a tiny erosion on my cervix, but i dont need to do anything about it.
I am on the pills since I was 14 years old (unfortunately I was prescribed contraception pills so early on due to acne, I was not sexually active until I was 18, but because it helped with my acne I was just carryin on taking them). I am now 28.
I went abroad 2 years ago and had private cervical screening and they could not give me results, because of high levels of inflamation which where caused by staphylococcus aureus. I got antibiotics and thought it will go away. I never repeated cervical screening after that.
Past few months I am having some symptoms, I am still on contraceptive pills, but I am experiencing bleeding in between my periods, sometimes I see that there is blood mixed with discharged. I have discharge all the time, white sometimes smelly, sometimes is greyish or brownish. I have pain during sex and sometimes sharp pelvic pain after sex that lasts long. I also bleed after sex 99% of the time. I felt like I am getting infections trush or BV, but everytime I treat it with antibiotics or cream/globulles it comes back within few days. I started worrying and booked GP appoitment already, but the more I am reading the more concern I am about the symptoms and the fact that I ignored it for quit long now. I also avoid drinking water, because if I drink water I will have to run to bathroom every 5 minutes as I feel urge to pee. Same at night, if I drink glass of water before bed I would have to go to the bathroom 3-4 times before bed. Sometimes i feel urge to pee, but my bladder is empty. Not sure if this is related.
Does anyone ever experienced similar symptoms? What should I ask my GP about? What kind of diagnostic test they should do?
Thank you in advance for all the answers.
