Quite embarrassing but, I have had a colposcopy….?
following an abnormal smear and other symptoms. I have previously been treated for pre-cancerous and cancerous cells via laser treatment, 10 years ago. I have now been diagnosed as having CIN1 and HPV following biopsy’s taken during the colposcopy. An internal scan has also been taken which has eliminated the possibility of fibroids (having had very heavy,clotted bleeding). Bleeding happens ad hoc. Sometimes no bleeding for 2 months or so and then my bleeding may last for up to 28+ days or so. Intercourse is very painful for which I understand why, as in addition to CIN1 and HPV I have also been diagnosed as having a prolapsed cervix (it is bulked) and also a prolapsed womb, when I had the colposcopy. I have suffered numerous miscarriages and I do not have children.(my partner is fully aware of my situation and is supporting me as he best can). The gynaecology department is pushing me from pillar to post… certain sections within the department deal with the cancerous issues, others deal with miscarriage issues etc.. I have worked in the medical field but have no vast knowledge of gynaecology issues. Can anyone advise me on what the likely treatment will be please? The pain can at times be excruciating. I have an appointment with my GP late next week and a follow-up colposcopy appointment shortly. However I am out of my mind with worry. My mother had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 27 and "women’s" problems are prevalent on both maternal and paternal sides of my family. Any advice that anyone can give will help me greatly. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my question x

Please listen to what your doctors have to say. You can always agree or disagree with what they want to do but please listen. I cannot advise you of anything because I am not a doctor but this is a serious problem and you should listen to a doctor you trust. If you are not satisfied with any of their opinions then please go for a second opinion. It is always better to be safe then to be sorry later on. Good luck to you and I hope everything turns out ok. I am sorry I couldn’t be of more help to you.
I am so sorry all this is happening to you. I have no words of wisdom, no advice. Good luck with your appointment and I really hope all will work out for you.
I can only hope that a good doctor, can come up with some solutions to your problems, and I wish you the best for the future.
