Bleeding after sex

Hi So I've had some brown discharge after sex which I believe is some bleeding, as well as bit of discomfort. I did actually have this last year too, exact same symptoms which turned out to be a large polyp which was removed after an urgent referral and no further treatment needed. So seems odd my symptoms have returned exactly a year later and I'm playing the waiting game for an urgent app with gynaecologist and I'm not in great place as I suffer with health anxiety and in space of a year I've had all the worries around previous bleeding, as well as waiting on mole results which my consultant thought was melonoma but turned out to be a rare mole, and lost my sister to cancer. so just feels like I want a break from worrying waiting on results etc.
anwyay I just wondered if anyone knew if a polyp could retun please?

I had A normal smear 2 years ago and cin 3 10 years ago. Thanks for listening 

  • Hello Casey123,

    I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but it's important to try and put these worries to the back of your mind. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. Anxiety UK has some great resources if you're finding things a bit overwhelming and these tips here can help you cope, whether you're waiting for an appointment or results.

    I hope this helps,
