Hi all,
I was diagnosed with HPV at 17 years of age (I'm not sure exactly what strain but one that can cause cervical cancer) I'm now 19 years old and have been having check-ups yearly. At my first appointment I had a biopsy done which came up as positive with some pre-cancerous cells present. At my second check up there was no improvement. I'm soon due for my next check up in October but I've recently been experiencing some symptoms which are really worrying me.
I'm currently on the implant (implanon) and have been for over 2 years now. While on it my periods have stopped completely but last week I started my period after having sex with my boyfriend. During intercorse I suddenly got this severe pain which put me in tears! I thought nothing of it. My period lasted a couple of days and was fairly light. After a few days I had intercorse with my boyfriend again but from the beginning I felt uncomfortable but thought the pain would subside but instead it got worse. Afterwards I started bleeding heavily and 3 days later the bleeding is getting heavier. I have severe stomach cramps, have completely lost my appetite and have been experiencing moments when the pain is so severe I almost throw up.
Im really worried that this might be signs of the HPV progressing and I'm just looking for some information on what to do? Anyone else experienced something similar? And also is anyone else dealing with this at such a young age?
Thank you for reading!!
