Signs and symptoms

I have a gp appointment booked in for 10 days time. I understand the symptoms I have could also be for a number of other reasons. But my coping mechanism is to research everything. I’m just wondering if anyone else had similar symptoms to mine. Also I’m 33 with 4 children if that makes a difference. 

Since (approx.) January I have been having pain during sex. It used to be occasionally so I thought nothing of it, now it’s every single time. 

I have also been bleeding after sex, sometimes during. Again, it was occasionally and now i bleed after every time. 

Recently I’ve also felt bloated and ‘fuller’ between my hips. Like a heaviness that’s hard to describe. 

I can also feel my cervix and it no longer feels smooth like it used to. There are several bumps. 

Im tired all the time, people tell me it’s cuz I have four kids and while I understand that, I sleep very well. 

Deffo not pregnant. Deffo no STD/Is. 

  • Hello Ned91

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing concerns with your health. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    It's good to know that you already have an appointment booked with your GP and hopefully they will be able to give you some reassurance when you see them next week. 

    If your GP feels that a referral to the gynaecology team is necessary then hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the appointment. 

    I hope that you have some answers soon Ned91 and that things can be improved for you. 

    Best wishes,
