Ectropion keeps returning

Hello 

I was wondering if anyone has any advice, i have been dealing with my ectropion for a few years now, i have had 3 treatments of silver nitrate and 1 treatment where they burned the cells. 2 lots of biopsies and it's still returning. I am not on any birth control, haven't been pregnant. But the bleeding is getting worse now during sex to a point where just evening a touch causes alot of bleeding. Unsure is there is anything else that can be done or if anyone has experienced this? Just don't want this to be forever! 

Any tips or advice would be great 

  • Welcome to our online community Olivia, although I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've been having with ectropion. Finding out that it keeps returning despite all the treatment you've had must be very frustrating.

    I hope you hear back from some of our members who have been in a similar situation soon but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable in this field and will do all they can to help.

    We're thinking of you Olivia and will have our fingers crossed this can be properly resolved soon.

    Kind regards,
