help

Hi, i am a 19 year old and i have recently noticed a small lump on (what i think is) my cervix. i have also noticed it has growna bit in the past few days. Also, i have gone from having very vegular periods to not really having them and evey now and then i will have brown discharge. I went to the doctors about my lack of periods and as i am on the implant that put it down to that. i have been on this for almost 3 years and feel like it shouln't effect my periods this much this late on (i would understand if it was when i firt got it put in or a few months later but not 2.5 years after) i have also had STD checks and they have come back negative and i'm starting to worry a little bit. would anybody be able to suggest what to do. or if anyone has had similar problems and what they did and what caused it.

  • Hello ladyj874, 

    It might be worth going to see the doctor again about this and mentioning if you haven't done so already that you noticed this small lump on your cervix and that it seems to you that it has grown. If you feel the doctor you have seen hasn't given you the answers you were looking for, you could try and get a second opinion and see a different GP. You can find out more about how to seek a second opinion on this page.
