Hello,
The point at which I knew something was wrong was when I had a bloody, smelly discharge. Before that, I had symptoms of bleeding between periods, missing periods altogether and a constant cramping pain. I became easily fatigued. I was very constipated and lost weight very quickly. One other thing is that I always felt that pressure like I had to urinate but when I tried, nothing came out (at times).
In my case, I hadn't been to have a pelvic/pap test in over 15 years (so stupid of me). I was a heavy smoker (even more stupid of me). So, I am not sure how long the cancer had been growing I was at stage 2A when diagnosed. I also had been diagnosed with the high risk HPV. So, I had chemo and radiation and it's been 4 and a half years. Let me know how your appointment goes and try not to worry too much.

Hi, I know your post has been quite a long time ago, I am looking for some advice, from yourself or anyone else. I have had a couple of missed periods over the last 8months, o get some lower back pain on and off and some constipation on and off with some red spots sometimes. I've recently had a smear and it came back as high risk HPV and abnormal cells. The waiting time for an appointment is 20weeks for a colposcopy just now. I am just so extremely worried about this. I already have health anxiety.
Any advice would be gratefully received

Hi everyone! I know this post is from some time ago but i would really appreciate if someone can advice me as ive been worried sick for months!
So it all started with me having an abortion, ive been adviced not to have sex with my partner for 2 weeks but ended up having sex 4 days after. Sraight after that i started getting strong craping under my tummy, the pain hasent gone away since! the next day i had large clots come out of me. My discharge was bloody sometimes or watery its not bloody now but still watery.!sometimes it looks like ive peed my self! I also have a lot of rubling in tummy all the time, pain in my lower back lots of spotting with periods and different color period to what it used to besometimes very light pink and sometimes black. ive noticed a change in my urine color, it always used to be normal yellow and now its very pale yellow sometimes even clear like water color. I ve had so much antibiotics trough out that time doctors thinking it could be infection. Then i had 3 transvaginal ultrasound because they found a simple cyst on one of my ovaries so they had to monitor because it was not going away and its still there now, but they said its nothing to worry about. I had kidney ultrasound which didn't show nothing as well. The doctor told me she doest think it's nothing major and that ill be referred to gynaecologist but it will take 4 months which is ridiculous! I've also had a stool test that showed infection which i took antibiotics for. Also when i need to go the big toilet i have to asap as i cant hold it like i used to.I suffer with major anxiety and depression and the past few months is been like a living hell for me! Sorry for the long post and would really appreciate any advice! Thank you so much
