Sorry for another message but I started having leg pain lastnight do you no if upper leg pain is part of ectropion? DiD you have cramping?xx

I do get cramping but I also suffer with IBS very mildly so it could be that with the stress . Are you up to date with your smears ? To be honest whilst I was waiting for the results it was easy to imagine all sorts of aches and pains. Have they said how long you have to wait for an appointment ?

I too have ibs!! I thought that's what it was at the beginning of all this :( it's the leg pain thats throwing me!! I had a smear at the end of 2019 and all was clear so not due again till 2022. They havent said when I could be called and it's hard to know with all the rules atm. Stress is really getting to me.my head is pounding since it all started :(

I would either go back to the GP to say the symptoms have changed or ring the hospital to see where you are on the list. But try nit to worry if your smear was clear and only a year ago thats a really good sign .x

I'm in a similar situation to you! Lower back pain, cramping, struggling to completely empty my bladder and had a smear last week to be told it was red, bloody etc so been referred and I'm also a total mess! Being sick with worry etc! When is your appointment? X

My appointment is next Monday for a coloscopy! Dreading it :( 

I've been on Google too and that is what I think has caused me so much anxiety and worry! I keep fearing the worst! 

I did a urine sample but I have to go back and do another one this week, they said it was fine but had some blood in (most likely from my smear) so they need another sample.

Hope you're ok x

Hi, I've just read on your post about IBS

I am wondering if I am suffering with this too!

I've had some cramping, loose stools after eating, then other times I can't go the toilet, and (sorry) but farting a bit too!! Sometimes I go for a wee, have a wee but then feel like I've not completely emptied my bladder! 

Could this be IBS symptoms? I'm wondering if I've brought it on through stress as I'm due to have a coloscopy next week and fearing the worst! 

Thanks x

It sounds very similar, IBS can come on at any time. Its worth mentioning it though just to rule everything out but sounds very similar to what I get so fingers crossed. I hope all goes well at the appointment you should get some answers that day . X

Hello, 

I'm so glad to have found this thread, I'm 24 and have been having issues for years now. Pain during intercourse and after, heavy periods and discharge, bleeding heavy etc 

I saw a doctor back in April last year and was told I had an ectoption and that was it. Literally nothing was done! .

I've had to pester and pester and I was referred for a colposcopy in October last year,, but here we are, now nearly February and I still haven't got an appointment! I called out patients to chase it up and was told the waiting list was 30 week! So it's clear they don't seem bothered, where as I'm a worrying reck! Cc runs in my family. And my mum had abnormal cells at 18 only picked up because she fell pregnant with me.

No matter what I do or say the doctors are refusing to let me have a smear as I'm 24! But I'm so cross by this. 

I'm now at the stage where I have constant pain in my lower abdomen and back needing pain killers a lot of the time and I've now been bleeding pretty much constantly for about 4 months. I used to be on the pill and have been using fh patch for about 5 years. I don't want to sound to much information but the bleeding I'm having isn't like period type bleeding, it's more think pink blood with clots. I'm so worried about CC and it's clear the doctors don't care because I'm only 24!

Any advice? Xx
