So worried about cervical cancer..can anyone help?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Right.. where do i start.. im 23 and had a baby nearly 4 months ago(normal birth).. i posted on here a few days ago but things have gotten worse.. i suffer terribly from health anxiety. I had my first period after having my baby then 2 weeks later another.. a month later another then 2 weeks later another.. 4 periods in 2 months.. the last period started about 7 hours after i had a transvaginal ultrasound & was very heavy.. because of the frequent periods i went to my doctors whilst still bleeding and he put me on utovlan to stop the bleeding so i could have swabs.. the bleeding didnt completley stop but did get alot less so they could do the swabs.. the period started on the 24th and havnt stopped bleeding since.. sometimes its fresh sometimes its brown but not heavy atall.. i ended up being admitted to hospital because of right sided pelvic and leg pain they thought i had appendacitis.. wich i dont.. but whilst there a gynecologist had a quick look at my cervix and said i had a cervical erosion and that they are common and nothing to worry about.. and sent me home and told me to go on the pill... this was 3 days ago and still bleeding.. in the last 2 months i have had 3 morning after pills... utovlan to try stop the bleeding and 3 days worth of contraceptive pills... do u think the doc has diagnosed me wrong and it is infact cervical cancer or that the morning after pill started the irregular periods then the other things ive been taking have just added to the problem.. also i have stabbing pains in my vagina and lots of clear watery discharge.. im so worried.. please does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with me? Thankyou in advance Xx

    First of all I am no Dr Danielle but you should stop worrying for the mean time.

    have cysts been ruled out ?

    have u had hormone blood tests ?

    U should talk more to your Obs/Gyn maybe all this is the aftermath of birth or ur just having hormonal imbalance and get an ultrasound aswell 

    Wish u all the best of luck

      yes yes get that checked hormonal imbalance can mess up periods badly it can bring them earlier or later or not bring them at all it can be as simple as that 

      Good luck

      well it has to stop eventually cos u r loosing volumes of blood in this case and as u described before that its each 15 days so it stops at times 

      what r the swab results ? 

      I wish u the best but u need to relax and google can be confusing at times so trust ur doctors 

      good luck

      So it's basically nine days

      I know ppl with a period of 15 days and they are doing just fine

      hopefully it'll come to an end I wish u all the best and suggest the hormones test to ur doctor

      best regards
