Hi,
A couple of months ago I suddenly started to experience bleeding after intercourse, which would then take a few days to stop, one time it took a week.
I went to the Dr and had a smear and straight away, nurse said she could see quite a large polyp and was struggling to get to my cervix itself.
After a very painful smear and quite a lot of bleeding, she managed to get the smear and some swabs done. I bled for a week after, 3/4 days of this quite heavy. Dr said it was probably the polyp bleeding where the nurse had to try move it to get to the cervix.
Swabs came back clear and was originally going to gynae at hospital in sept for polyp
But yesterday, I received a letter saying that abnormal cells were found on my smear and now I'm absolutely terrified.
I've previously had a bone tumor in my ankle/ shinbone, which i had removed (still have mymleg thank God) - just done with remission for this december just gone. I know it's a lot different in one way, but i never expected to feel this scared again in my life .
I keep imagining the worst. What if the polyp isn't a polyp, etc and is a part of a tumor on cervix, what if it's too advanced
I also have been having a searing burning pain in my right hip for a few years now on and off, plus right leg goes dead (mostly when I've been sitting on look) and very painful pins and needles when it wakes up again. X-rays on my hip found nothing a couple years back, not did MRI on legs and hips, but I've heard that pain/numbness in legs is a sign of cancer in the womb/cervix area especially on the right hand side?
I have also got pcos, which was diagnosed when I was 16 ( I've just turned 34). I quit smoking last October and unfortunately gained almost 3 stone since, then since january, my periods have not been like clockwork as they are when I weigh less. (They were also irregular from 16, even after I had my son at 20. Only started coming ike clockwork when I lost a ton of weight in 2011 when I was diagnosed with my bone tumor).
I don't know what to expect, my doctor also said I didn't have a smear for 9 years. But I was sure I'd had one since then, about 4.5 years ago. The only reminder I've had was about 3/4 months ago.
I am due to do my law exams this week too and now I feel like I can't face them. I sound crazy but it seems every single time I've gone back to college or uni, something really serious has happened with my health and it's all freaking me out.
Partner is encouraging me to go in and do the exam but I think I shall go blank, feel like I've forgotten it all because of what else is going on.
Has anyone else had a polyp found and abnormal cells? Is it common to find both?
I feel like I'm suffocating
