Hi everyone
I've not been on here much lately as really been trying to keep on top of my HA and sometimes I find by not reading health issues it helps me keep it in check.
Anyway I've posted before about my issues regarding bleeding after intercourse and how it has ruined my sex life as it has been an issue I've had snce the birth of my son 7 years ago.
I've had a couple of dodgy smears mild abnormalities and had 2 loop excisions, I've also had cervical ectropion which was treated a few years ago.
Anyway I've always had yearly smears and my last four have been fine so I'm now back to 3 yearly smears, but I still have the issue with bleeding after intercourse.
I've been to the doctors that many times I've lost count and had pelvic exams, ultrasounds and my doctor has checked my cervix and all they say is I stll have a small ectropion.
It's not a lot of bleeding it's a couple of streaks after the event and stops more of less straight away but I can't get the cervical cancer fear out of my head.
The last doctor said she could see the ectropion and because I've had such regular clear smears and the ultrasound was clear she's not at all concerned, but I've googled and it seems lots of women have clear smears but still had cervical cancer so now my anxiety is in overdrive. I keep thinking I've had it for years and it's been missed.
To make matters worse I did some really vigorous excercise a few days ago and had a couple of streaks of blood afterwards, admittedly I think I was ovulating at the time, and I haven't had it since whilst excersising but that's also at the back of my mind.
Has anyone else had this, I just can't stop thinking about it.
Sorry for the rambling but my husband is just so patient and he thinks I just need to accept what the doctors say and move on, but I'm just thinking they aren't being thorough enough!!
