Cervical cancer

I really could use some advice, I'm feeling so very alone and don't know where to turn.

  • I am 28 and recently went to the GP with heavy, long-recurring discharge. My smear test was about six months overdue so I had that around the same time. I have tested positive for the HPV virus with low-grade dyskaryosis. Because I ignored the discharge for quite some time, I feel that something is badly wrong. I am booked in for a coloscopy and I am worried that I will be in the advanced stages as I left it so long. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. Far from wanting reassurance, I would just like it made clear to me so that when the inevitable does happen, I am in not in so much of a shock. 

  • Hi there, I'm going through something similar. I went to my gp about reoccurring thrush, she examined me and couldn't see my cervix due to thrush so I had 2 week course if fluconazole. 2 weeks later thrush cleared but constant heavy discharge still there, GP said cervix looked inflamed and bumpy. Urgent referral for colposcopy. In mean time go for the smear I had booked if it's sooner than later appointment. I had my smear today which is 11 yrs from my last. The smear was painful and I have had some bleeding and pelvic pain since (never happened last time) my other symptoms have been no periods for 4 months at a time. My gynecologist hospital appointment is in September but my GP wants it brought forward. I'm a single working mum of 4 and I can't help but feel nervous.
  • Hello, I know this is slightly old but I just wondered what your diagnosis was if possible? I am getting a very similar symptom to you but unable to book a smear due to covid19. X
