Cervical erosion

Hi everyone,

im so glad I have found this chat... cut a long story short I had a baby July 19 and had problems healing etc, have always gone straight to the doctor fore examination when something new has appeared... anyway in October my doctor examined me and said I have large cervical erosion and that it should go away itself. In the mean time I started on the depo in nov and ever since I have had bleeding, due to Covid19 and me just wanting it to go away I haven’t been back the doctors until just last week, explained the bleeding had continued and I’ve started bleeding after sex... she examined me and said yes I still have large cervical erosion and she would refer me to gynaecologist... so I went home and felt relieved that something would be done untilI went on my patient access and read our consultation and she has fast tracked me for suspected cervical cancer... I rang the doctor and asked her to explain this as she had not mentioned it to me during consultation... she said she doesn’t suspect it’s cervical cancer but would like to rule it out.. now I am absolutely petrified, anxiety going through the roof that I may have cervical cancer... why would she even use those words in my referral form if she didn’t think it was that?!I have an appointment for my colposcopy a week on Tuesday and I am seriously stressing out, I can’t eat, sleep, focus on looking after my baby, I’m taking my self away from any situation as I cannot focus on anything but reading stories about cervical cancer... my baby needs me and I am going to be too I’ll to look after him or not be here at all please could I hear your stories if you have been in the same situation as me, I can’t possibly wait another week to know if I have cervical erosion, I am going out of my mind 

 

thankyou

    Hi Nikki,

     

    Thanks for your response, just as an update I went for my colposcopy today. After weeks of worrying because I've had urinary discomfort, bleeding after bowel movements and leg/back/vaginal pains everything was absolutely fine. The ladies doing the procedure were just great and made me feel at ease. They took a biopsy but showed me the ectropian and it was really small but was bleeding significantly on contact. Biopsy is just a precaution as my smear isn't due until October, but she couldn't see anything she believed to be sinister. 

    It's such a huge relief and I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight! Will be speaking to the consultant at the end of the month to follow up.

    I'm hoping this can give some reassurance to others in the same position.

    I'm so relieved to have come across this chat. I got told 3 years ago that I had cervical erosion. Causing no issues at all. But now a few hours after intercourses I have a tiny amount of blood just when I wipe. Is this to with the erosion? Any advice would help? X

    Yes I tend to bleed a little bit after sex, that's what made me initially go to the GP. Are your smears up to date?
