extremely painful smears and possible infection
Posted , 2 users are following.
i know i have some kind of infection, but due to not being able to ever complete the smear i dont know for sure. every time i try it is so painful i start crying, some times i start screaming from how uncomfortable it is. this last time i went the dr prescribed me a medication for a yeast infection which did not work. i am experiencing lower abdomen pain, body aches, headaches, itchiness, and white/light yellow mucus-like discharge that has some pink spots in it (only at night). there is no fever, "fishy" smell, or any other color of discharge. because of the medications i am currently on it is difficult for me to do any "daily" tasks such as shower, brush my teeth, get out of bed, etc. without the help of someone else, so my hygiene is currently at its worst. is there any way i can somehow at least fix the pap smear issue? any advice or recommendations on how to get through it would be helpful

Once confirmed. If positive, have a biopsy done secondly to confirm. If cells are cancerous, find out what options you want to take. I personally had surgery and a very small amounts of chemo. Dealing with cervical cancer can become extremely painful and very discomforting. While going through the process of confirming your diagnosis, you will need help with pain meds and nausea. I also used a heating pad, pickles and it juice to assist with the pain and nausea. If it is affecting your day to day activities, take it very easy and very slow. If not you can aggravate your body and make a bad situation much worse. Always remember you are in control of your life... Life is what you make it and you can still enjoy life while dealing with a health issue.
God bless.

There is no way this situation merits a visit to an oncologist of any kind. If there is an oncologist that would see a patient without a referral after findings - -well, it just wouldn't happen, and it shouldn't. Cervical cells can be examined directly, with use of a microscope, right then, at the time of the exam at an office with a physician equipped to do so. I am uncomfortable with your assumption that the poster has cancer. There is nothing in the poster's statement that remotely suggests it. Please be careful not to take readers down your own path - which I am sorry you experienced.
