Cervical erosion?

Hi, I went for a smear test a couple of weeks ago, I explained before hand that I'd had some pain in the pelvic area, and had streaks of blood in discharge a couple of days before my periods, for around 3 months now, which is unusual for me.

The nurse told me I had cervical erosion and it looked like a strawberry rather than the usual pink. 

I'm so worried now that it wasn't erosion! The wait for the results feels like it is taking forever, if it is cervical cancer would the blood streaked discharge only happen around the time of my period? or would it be at any point? I know this can be a normal sign of a period coming however it is not usual for me.

  • Welcome to our online community Ts24 although I'm sorry for the worry this is causing.

    Many of our members have contended with cervical erosion so you are not alone and hopefully you will get to hear about some of their experiences soon. I hope this information I've found about cervical erosion will be useful as well.
