Only just had smear test last week

I have been having issues with my kidneys for months continuously taking antibiotics. Sometimes taking two courses of antibiotics at a time as sores appear on my face and become infected .As well as constant indigestion and trouble swallowing. My periods are regular but very light and I’m freaquently needing to pee. At my smear test the nurse said my cervix is swollen and bruised( haven’t been sexually active for at least a year. The swab taken from the  cervix was blood. I haven’t heard anything back yet but was told there’s a back log. Trying my best not to over think the situation. Has anyone else had similar symptoms?

  • Hi Mumma8

    Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've been experiencing. 

    It's so easy to overthink things isn't it! I know that lots of the members here will be nodding their heads in agreement when I say that waiting for test results is one of the hardest things to do. The unknown is a scary prospect. 

    It sounds like you may have a little wait for your results if there's a back log so try to take each day as it comes and not think too far ahead. I also know that's easier said than done!

    Hopefully your results will help answer some of the questions you have. 

    Sending our best wishes.
