Hormonal changes in womb, colposcopy referral

Hi everyone, can someone please help me. I went to my doctor today as I've been having cramps all week. Iv now got lower back pain too. The doctor did an I internal exam and said that she could see hormonal changes on my womb and that it was raw. She referred me for a colposcopy and ultrasound. I'm a mess since. I cant help but think its womb cancer or cervical cancer. Has anyone ever had a doctor tell them they had hormonal changes? 

  • Hello Ekmom

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some health problems which have resulted in your GP referring you to the hospital. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned about things. 

    I can see from one of your other posts that the GP has said they feel you have ectropion but that you're concerned your symptoms don't necessarily fit this diagnosis. Try to stay positive at this point and avoid searching Google for answers; it will lead to you feeling even more anxious. 

    If you'd like to talk to one of our nurses about your concerns you're welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
