Hello vix.

Bless you..

Try not to think the worst.. they'll probably get you in for a colposcopy to have a much better look. And take the appropriate action if needed.

Sending you a big hug x

I have had issues a few times and lletz procedures.. had one in april to remove cin 2. And went for a follow up a few weeks ago and I have to have another colposcopy. 

I'm extremely anxious.  I suffer from really bad health anxiety . I worry that in 7 months there's changes again.

Always here to chat if you need.

Let us know how you get on x

Thank you so much for your reply.  I'm sorry that you're experiencing similar, I just can't cope with the anxiety, my head just runs away with me. I'm so scared x

I completely understand that feeling.  It doesn't matter what anyone says really.

If your really struggling contact the gp and ask for something to calm you. I take propranolol for mine .

I'm on the ride with you.

Add me if you want to , I don't mind at all x

Hi

I completely understand what your feeling and it doesn't really matter what anyone says because when you have anxiety only you can deal with it. Contact the gp if your struggling they might give you something to calm. I take propranolol that helps.

I'm on this ride with you. 

Add me if you want to xx

Deep breaths we're scared together. 

Thank you so much x

I have doctor appointment at 9.30 this morning. I actually feel sick to my stomach. 

Morning Vix, 

I noticed you have your appointment with the doctor soon so I just wanted to wish you the best of luck and let you know we're thinking of you.

Fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

Kind regards,

Thank you Steph

So the doctor had a look and thinks I have a cervical ectropion, said it isn't easy to see as there is a lot of mucus (sorry tmi) and i have a retroverted uterus. She can't be 100% sure so has put in a 2 week referral for colcospy. 

I found this reassuring but am still anxious as finding some period like pain and discharge is quite bad atm. No idea if this is down to being examined or because I recently stopped the sayana press injection.

Is a ectropion less likely than cancer at my age (41) ?  And I'm not on the pill. Was on the injection but that isn't oestrogen based.  Still super anxious but slightly less than I was. 

Hi Vix1705,

I've just seen your reply to Steph and wanted to send something back as Steph may not see it now. Although I'm not able to advise on your question, you are welcome to post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum to get a reply from one of our nurses, if you would like to.

Alternatively do of course discuss any queries with your doctor when you can.

Wishing you all the best,

Glad to hear your les anxious. 

You and I could be having a colposcopies around the same time. 

I wish you well with it x

Fingers crossed it all goes well for both of us x
