Hello,
I recently spotted about a week after my period finished, it was only the once when I wiped but I started to panic and I felt around and felt my cervix for the first time. I've never felt my cervix before, but I started obsessively checking it and I noticed that one side of it feels different to the other. I can't really explain it, but it feels like parts of the cervix can be separated? Like there's about 3 or 4 cuts maybe, it's hard to explain. I went to the doctor and she checked, she said I was inflamed (although she said that could be because of how often I was prodding at it) but she tested for an infection and it came back no infection. I couldn't have a pap smear as I'm under 25, but she said she would get a gynecologist to look at it for me. I don't know how long the wait will be but I'm really anxious about it because I keep reading up the symptoms of cervical cancer and freaking out thinking I have all of them? The doctor said she couldn't see any growths or anything that looked worrying when she was checking me, but I can't think of what else it could be that I'm feeling? I'm due my period this week, but for a few days now my discharge has been redder. I don't know if this is because I'm touching it so often, or if I'm stressing out so much that it's causing that or if my period is just coming. I'm really scared, I read that cervical cancer is rare for under 25 and it's most commonly caused by HPV but I had all the vaccines in school and have only been with two people sexually, one of them has been a 5 year long relationship. I can't think of what else it could be but I'm worrying so much that I can't focus on university or work and I'm falling behind and not eating etc
