Worried about unusual bleeding

Hi,

I'm not sure if I've come to the right place.. maybe someone can send me in the right direction.

I've had on going unusual bleeding between periods, after sex, bloody discharge as well as pelvic discomfort, cramping when not on period, and lower back ache. I have pelvic and back discomfort most days and some days ranges to a pain. I'm 25 and have a 1 year old son. I have always had very heavy painful periods but feel they are getting worse with age. I had my smear done a week ago, I've switched pills but am still bleeding. I have lost a fair amount of weight over the last few weeks/months without trying and with all of this put together I am beside myself with worry that this all equates to cervical cancer. I am anxiously awaiting smear results and try to keep my mind away from it but the bleeding is like a constant reminder that something not right. I am so worried and anxious about this and just looking for anyone that has any experience or resources on what to do next or while I wait for smear results.

 

Thank you!
