Hi Gemmalou

It’s good that your gp said your cervix looks normal. The colposcopy will identify if there are any areas of abnormal cells, and if so they can be dealt with in a straightforward procedure.

There can be many reasons for unusual bleeding, so don’t jump to worrying about cervical cancer. This is a slow growing cancer and it can take many years for abnormal cells to develop into cancer. It looks like you’re up to date with your smear tests, so make sure you keep attending your appointments and I’m sure you will be just fine. 

I know it’s really hard not to worry, but focus on the fact you’ve been told your cervix look normal. Hope you get on ok with the colonoscopy...it’s really just enabling the doctor to have a close look at your cervix to make sure there’s nothing there. xx
