Cervical ectropion and burning sex

Hey sorry for tmi lol but when my partner and I have sex it hurts so bad and burns like nothing I've felt before, for a good 2 hours after. A month ago I was told I had cervical ectropion and have been referred for removal (waiting list is 6 months plus). Has anyone else here had burning? I know some pain is normal but this is unbearable. Just worried cause I've read burning sensation is a lesser known symptom of cervical cancer

  • hi!! i was diagnosed with cervical ectropion 6 months ago after having it for 3+ months and had to wait 5 months for my gyno appointment. when i went, the new doctor didn't take me seriously and rushed when treating me, meaning she did a botched job and it went funny so i had to go back to my doctors and she found that she cauterised the wrong part, so make sure you keep pushing at the doctor to do the treatment that your gp suggested!! i found out because sex is still unbearable, however since it's been so long that i've been in pain my doctor told me to buy two things: sylk light lube plus replens moisturiser, which should help get rid of the burning pain (which is totally normal if you've had swabs and been negative) when having intercourse with cervical ectropion keep trying loads of positions!! it took me a good few months to find one which was comfortable. try to find out where the affected area is (mine is on one side of the cervix) and find a position which doesn't hit it, this helps a lot!! sorry if this doesn't help x
