Cervical ectropion

Last year I got diagnosed with a cervical ectropiom after a urgent 2 week referral.

past 7 weeks I have been on numerous antibiotics for a reacurring Uti that won’t go away. The doctor examined me down there and was really concerned that it was really inflamed and has referred me for another urgent referral to the Gynecologist. Has anyone been in the same situation and been ok? I had a smear test dec 2017 and all came back ok.

  • Hi Casey,

    How did you get on?

    On and off I was experiencing vaginal bleeding for months and I kept making up excuses around it. I.e maybe the angle of sex? or at times I would think maybe it was because I was due on my period or just come off?

    Then it carried on and I couldn't make any excuses up for it. I went to see a GP and she diagnosed me with cervical ectropion. She asked me if my period were regular and noticed I had my cervical screening 12 months prior which come back ok. 2 days after seeing her I have been bleeding like a period which is not due for another 10 days and I have found it very stressful. I have been referred to a gynecologist too. Were your symptoms severe or is there anyone else on here that has experienced the same sort of thing?

    Many thanks.

  • Hi Casey, 

    I'm new to this site, but wanted to reply directly to you. 

    i was told I had cervical ectropion just over 2 years ago, not nice and pretty embarrassing bleeding after sex every time :-( but also that of BV made the bleeding worse. I finally had enough of asking for repeat prescriptions of anti biotics ( for bv) as that's what I thought was making the bleeding worse. 
    I returned to the doctors this Monday had swabs and was referred, with 24 hours I had an app from the hospital to attended for full coloscopy.  
    Yesterday they took 4 biopsy's, 3 from my cervix and one aspiration one from the womb. Now I'm worried as the doctor could see visible viral changes and showed them to me on the screen. 
    I wish two years ago that I went back when the bleeding didn't stop, 

    Has anyone else had 4 biopsy's taken in one go, I'm worried as last few months I've been feeling out of sorts. Tired, lower back ache but put it down to Hugh energetic job and family life. 
    whag spooked me was the doctor ask if my partner was supportive? 
    is this a normal question to ask before diagnosis? I've 2 weeks to wait for results and struggling already. 
     

    are you hoping to have your cervix froze? Xx
