Anyone had any experience with cervical swabs?
I had a few swabs took on Friday by gynae and she noticed an erosion but didn't go into any sort of details (She told me to chase up a smear as I'm due around now which I'm ringing GP for tomorrow) but i've been having light bleeding since the swabs and I'm not sure what to do? Is it something I should

Need major help
I have just turned 25 and have thought about having a
cervical
screening
done but my gp and mother said no as I have never been sexually active and the test can be quite uncomfortable.

Hello all new to this community
Well I'm a member of the other anxiety community and was just informed of this one about a week ago. So I thought I come on over and share a little about my anxiety. I was basically told by a therapist that I have GAD. Which even without her telling me I had already researched anxiety and diagnosed myself

Update!
Not sure who read my previous posts or what. But I figured I would let whoever cares to know, that I went for blood work today and everything came back next to perfect. This has taken such a load off of me. So now if I can just get through my papsmear next week, and it comes back clear, I'll be free

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

Do ovarian cancer sufferers always have bloating?
As above, if someone has ovarian cancer will they always have bloating? Or can they suffer pain with absolutely no bloating? I am waiting for follow up with GP after blood tests, smear and tests for infection and am expecting them to say I can't have ovarian cancer as my only symptom is pain. I am

Headaches, again. Steroids?
I've had a couple of headaches again the last couple of days. I only just feel like I am coming out of that horrendous flare with progressing headache, that lasted 5-6 weeks. Energy levels are slowly improving too. But the headaches are currently the bane of my life. This one is back to the "migraine

I'm new to this, and just need some advice! This is my story! Expected endo
I'm aged 21 and I've been suffering now for 6 years, I massively respect those who have been suffering for longer! This is my story At aged 16 I noticed my first symptom it was pelvic and abdominal pain, The doctor straight away put it down to stomach acid, so I was on operzole tablets, which did

Had enough!
Jeez, I feel like I'm just broken from the waist down! Diagnosed with endo 3 years ago,via laparoscopy. I manage (just) with over the counter painkillers, heat pads and rest when it's at it's worse. Last year was diagnosed with HPV and abnormal cervical cells after a smear, had a biopsy, all ok. However

Central hypothyroidism?
See previous posts. TPOAb came back negative but looking at other autoimmune disorders/central hypothyroidism. Maybe some inflammation there. Female hormones are because no period since late October 2016. One win - abnormal smear this time last year! Any comments? Seeing doctor in the morning.

Removal of abnormal cells/Baby number 2
In a nutshell I believe my endo was caused by the removal of abnormal cells via loop following a smear test. I was diagnosed with severe endo, had surgery to remove 2.5 years ago. We've been trying for 8 years for baby number 2, our son is 10, I'm nearly 40 ๐. To say it's a daily struggle is an understatement
