Worried about diagnosis - inflamed cervix and many symptoms

I'm 25 years old and am really worried about my upcoming gynaecology appt. It started when I was having some discomfort and bleeding during sex. I went to my GP and she said I had an inflamed cervix and referred me for the urgent 2 week programme. On the same day as they told me I had an inflamed cervix I had sex that evening but didn't have any bleeding or discomfort. I have now started getting some pelvic pains that also goes down both sides. I'm also having some really mild brown discharge which I'm very worried about as well! 

 

Does anyone have any advice or similar symptoms?

    Hi. How are you? I have just seen your post and wanted to get in touch as I am currently experiencing the exact same symptoms and waiting for the same treatment. I was wondering what your diagnosis was ? As you can imagine I am extremely worried and scared. I have a little boy so literally can not stop worrying. Any advice/help that you can give me would be extremely appreciated 

    thank you

    Hi Helen,

    I had my appointment and the nurse was one of the nicest people I've ever met and set my mind to ease almost straight away. She did a biopsy then and there just to be sure as she could see some abnormal cells but that came back really mild so I just need to have smears once a year. If it gets worse they simply scrape them off! I do have cervical ectropion which is really really common and explained my symptoms! 
    I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry there's so many other things it could be!
