Worried sick. Literally.

I broke down and made an appointment with my GP for a papsmear. I have to go for blood work first and I'm absolutely terrified that I have cervical cancer. Though I don't really have any symptoms. I've gotten to a point where I've worried myself so much that I'm now physically sick. I found spotting after intercourse two days before my period. It really scared me and now I can't get the thought of it meaning something really bad, out of my head. I haven't had a pap in 3yrs and even then, everything came back normal as well as a clear transvaginal ultrasound. The only thing detected was a 5cm functioning cyst. Other than that, I was fine. I've since came down with health anxiety and as you can probably guess, it's bad. I just want someone to tell me something other than ''go to the Dr''. Sorry for the embarrassing info

I understand what that is like, I'm so sorry you are feeling so scared about that

I would try to not worry, especially since you said you don't have the symptoms.

Spotting happens all the time. I've had it happen to me after sex a lot! I also had a cyst a couple years ago, and it was nothing to worry about.

I hope all the tests come back all okay for you :) we are here for you!

I'm trying to stay calm but I'm just a basket case. Everything google tells me is pointing toward cervical cancer of course. I'm so scared 😭

On the bright side, you are doing the right thing and making an appointment. Be sure to tell the doctor your concerns!
