Ongoing pain and smear results

Hi 

I don’t expect a diagnosis but I would like to know if anyone has ever been in a similar situation as I am getting depressed about the whole thing. 
About a month ago I had a bright vivid blood discharge two weeks after my period and started having a low abdominal pain that since hasn’t budged. It’s been a month of constant dull ache that seems to be localized on my low abdominal area although it’s been around my belly button at times. I had urine, stool and blood samples taken and only the urine showed as needing doing again (I’m going tomorrow) as it contains blood and white cells. 
i had a CT scan on my pelvic area, they didn’t seem to think anything was weird but they showed me a small fibroid. They told me it was too small to cause this persistant pain. My smear test was booked routinely before these symptoms arrived so I went to have this done along sti screening. The results for STI were clear. No sign of infection for much. 
I received my smear test results along an invitation for a colonoscopy four days later (on Thursday) saying I have tested positive for HPV 18 and that small changes were noticed on my cells (low grade dyskaryosis). 
i am beyond confused about what to think. I’ve read HPV doesn’t cause symptoms but could my cervix be inflamed because of it ? Could the fibroid be a tumor they mistaken for it would they know just by looking ? Would a fibroid even small causing this pain ? Like we tend to do I turned to Google and scared myself reading about cervical cancer. My mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer a week ago and I am mentally exhausted worrying about her (I live abroad) while being worried for myself. It’s just too much to take. 

For reference I had a smear four years ago that was all clear. 
i am 31 and would like children with my partner but at the moment getting intimate isn’t even an option because of the pain. 

has anyone been in a similar situation ? Xx

  • Welcome to the forum Laulau35 although I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, as well as your mum's recent breast cancer diagnosis. This must be a very stressful and worrying time.

    Unfortunately I can't answer the questions in your post but we have a very friendly and knowledgeable team of cancer nurses that may be able to help so if you'd like to get their thoughts on this, you can make a new post in their section of the forum just here.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will stop by soon to offer their support, as well as share their experiences and advice but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Laulau and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
