Help - irregular bleeding , HPV positive

Hi

ive had irregular bleeding spotting after my period. It's not always constant but can go on for weeks between my periods. When there is no spotting I have a cramping feeling. This has been going on for 2 months. 

my periods have been slightly heavier than normal with small blood clots for the past 3 months . 
 

I went for a smear test recently and I was told that it shows positive HPV but no abnormal cells. 
the doctor advised me to have another smear test in 3 months and wouldn't refer me for a colposcopy.

She did not want to investigate the bleeding either and advised me that it could be hormonal. 
 

ive been ever so worried and worry about this every day. I have never ever had irregular periods or bleeding in the past. I had explained to the doctor that I know my body and something doesn't feel right. The doctor dismissed me and said that I would need to wait 3 months for another smear.

 

I am now thinking of paying privately for a colposcopy. 
 

has anyone experienced something similar to me and if so what happened ?

  • Hiya hanna, I know what your going through, I've just had a positive hpv test also. I have to have another smear in 12 months time to see if its cleared by its self and to see if any abnormal changes are found. Any abmoral bleeding I suggest you ask for a second opinion. I have a pelvic ultrasound on Wednesday followed by a gynecologist appointment they're treating me as urgent due to the abnormal bleeding I've been getting and pains in my pelvic area. Hope all goes well for you x
