hello I know this was posted in Feb but I have just had the same and waiting on an urgent referral as we speak! How did you get on? X

In the end they did a urgent referral to gynaecology as there was such a long wait for colpscopy. The specialist looked and acouple weeks later lasered the ectropian and that was it. She didnt even mention cc and just said an ectropian is common if u have been on the pill for a long time or during pregnancy.i have just had a smear test done and nothing was said about anything looking sore etc so I assume the ectropian has gone. Just waiting the dreaded smear test results.

Looking back I think my hormones were so high and low due to having my daughter that I just didnt deal with things rationally at all. I hadn't even had a worrying smear result but in my head I convinced myself the ectropian was something nasty. The depo didnt so me any favours either so am off of that and much happier on the pill.

Hope you are okay? Xx

I don't have my date yet no. I think it will come.through in the post either Monday or Tuesday. It's so hard to rationalise as it's very hard to understand the relationship (if there is one at all) between ectropians and CIN. As far as I can get my head round it, they are unrelated but can coexist along side one another so they prefer to always get you in to check so nothing is missed. CIN is not cancer , it's pre-cancerous cells which like you said grow very slowly. If you've had clear smears the doctor is simply sending you to get the ectropian treated as that's where it's done, in the colposcopy clinic. That's why they sent me before as it was becoming so bothersome. I'm trying to rationalise that if that's what it was before then that's all it will be again and is being caused by a change in hormones due to stopping breast feeding. I think they are being extra cautious with me because of having CIN one - not wanting to risk just writing it off as an ectropian and missing something. 

It's so hard when it's all centred around the C word and that is literally the most terrifying thing for anybody. Xxxx

My ultrasound was abnormal , 10x12mm focal area on my uterus, my uterus appears irregular and 25mm thickness. I've had extremely heavy periods , and extreme pain for a while. I'm now taking morphine because it's so bad.

A gyno had a look at the hospital and said my cervix is red raw and bleeding when touched. She said it looks like cervical ectropion. I'm waiting now on another gyno refferal for a second opinion and hopefully a biopsy. I'm 25 and have had to fight just to get to this point! Cervical cancer runs directly in my family. 

I've never even heard of cervical ectropion before. But I've read it can resemble early stage cervical cancer as the two look similar so I'm panicking now! :( 

I was told I had cervical ectropian around 3 years ago , we had been trying for our third baby, and was probably paying more attention to my cycle. I realised I had a lot of discharge a lot where bloody. So fast forward to now I have a 11 month old , but it seems to have started again , 3 times I had to go to the loo today after feeling wet (pinky discharge) and slight back side pain. I just worry as I have the ectropian how would I know if it's something else , do I go back to the doctor. Probably working my self up as my grans ovarian cancer has come back ( tested to be not one that runs in families) xx

Let us know how you get on?? Just try not to focus on the negatives and focus on the positives. I have a bad way of thinking the worse in every situation! Xx

Have you booked to go back to doctors? No harm in getting it checked out again is there. Also I'm sorry to hear about your gran. I hope everything works out ok xxx

I had cervical erosion treated by a laser  more years ago than I remember, probably 20? I'm here because my husband has a lump, not because I have cancer myself.

I remember the treatment mainly for the horrible liquid they painted on that was extremely difficult to remove. Wear old underwear because they are not good at getting the stuff on and you'll probably throw your pants away afterwards.

It's not quite as painless as they claim but we are women, compared to childbirth it's nothing.

I'm in the same situation, thick uterine lining and cervical ectropion! I'm 22 and not being listened to by my doctors at all and i'm very worried. How has this gone for you? Have you had anymore answers?

Hello I had my colposcopy yesterday- have you had one of these yet?? 
anyway she found the area that was bleeding and used silver nitrate on it- told me next time if it continues they will need to freeze it. She discharged me and told me it was completely normal and I feel reassured- xxx

No I haven't, I got told I have the ectropion on wednesday and they told me to come back if the bleeding continues and they will sort it. I've had cramps all day today but with no bleeding so I'm not too sure what that is down to. xx

Hello- I had my colposcopy she stated that most people that get sent there it ends up being ecropion. She found the area that was bleeding and applied a small amount of silver nitrate to it and said to go to my smear in January which is when it's due. If you've always kept up with your smears that's brilliant just try think positive. As humans I think we always think the worst case scenario and guess it's normal. You will have to let us know how it goes on Monday I will have everything crossed it's good news xxxx

thank you very much 

feel drained from the worry tbh it’s made me ill

will let you know Monday 

it’s good news 

they taken swabs too

ome STD AND another at top of vagina can’t remember what it’s called 

thanks again

can I ask did u have bloated tummy and pains ?

I'm so relieved I stumbled upon this thread. I'm literally in the same boat as you all and am sick with anxiety. I can't sleep and feel like crying constantly. Went to a clinic and was told I had cervical ectropion and was meant to be referred to have a colposcopy but now have to go to my doctor to be referred. I know I shouldn't but I've looked on google and ended up scaring myself thinking I have cervical cancer or cancer cells. So glad that I can read this thread and not feel as though I'm alone in feeling this way x

I had my son in April 2018 and am still breastfeeding! My periods returned in March 2019 and were a bit irregular to start with and I've been spotting occasionally in between, had smear in May 2019 which was clear. I went to the dr due to the spotting and she can see an erosion and wants to send for colposcopy just to check as I've been spotting!

Im worried out of my mind and feel desperate! 
Does this sound like CC???
