I'm going out my mind with worry had abnormal bleeding for about 6 months now, no periods but constantly bleeding. Went to my doctor who did an examination and she said it looked like cervical ectropion - but as it has been 8 years since I last had a smear she did one whilst I was there. The results came back positive for HPV and cell changes (but it doesn't say what kind of changes - mild, borderline etc). I have to wait upto 8 weeks for a coloscopy appointment. I'm overweight, and the doctor made me feel like *** after my smear because of it which reinforced why I never went for one for 8 years.
Is it possible what she seen (ectropion) is actually cancer? What's the chances of everything being fine? So many things running through my mind (especially as I have had the abnormal bleeding.) I'm 31, but haven't been sexually active for almost 2 years but looking back even then I bled after sex, I did for a few years but never thought anything of it. I really dont know what to do, as a single parent to 2 kids I'm just going out my mind with worry. Haven't slept and cried daily since I got the result can't go on like this for 8 weeks waiting for an appointment
