    Terrified..bleeding

    Hi...I need help from ladies one this one.

    I had some intermittent spotting on the 19th July. It happened after I had done clitoral stimulation and climaxed. Reddish pinkish and looked fresh. After panicking I put my finger up and found more fresh blood on my finger. The bleeding wasnt heavy at all and only happened on wiping with red mixed with discharge and never on ym underwear and stopped the next morning but I went to my doctors and they fit me in. GP gave me a speculum exam and said it looked normal and then gave me a bimanual exam . She did not do my rectum but there was no pain or blood one examination at all. I explained my symptoms but forgot to tell her it was after masturbating (I was so stressed). She saw how high my anxiety was and explained it is common to bleed on the pill and said stress can cause it. I have had healthy anxiety on and off for 15+ years made worse by my mum passing from a rare cancer 11 years ago.

    The GP i saw is a 20 year expert on family planning and mental health. I didnt know her before though.

    A week after I went for a poo (I do have common hardish stools at bristol chart 2ish) and had one flash of a small amount of red blood on one wipe which stopped straight away (came from my vagina) and I have just had it again 4 days later similar amount which stopped as soon as it appeared. I did notice yellowy discharge with the recent one but that could be blood or poo mixed in. I have been holding in my poo due to the anxiety of the weeks events which hasn't helped. This blood is certainly less than the other week.

    Very scared to the point of breakdown. Going to ring GP tomorrow but think its the big Cervical cancer as smears arent 100%.


    Since the first bleed I have been very anxious and stressed to the point of staying in bed all day and hardly eating. I have lost 1/2 stone in weight and the reaccurances have sent me over the edge.

    I am 33, 3 clear smears so far (Last one was June 2017). Non smoker. Not sure if I have ever had coital bleeding as my anxiety stops me having sex.

    Btw I have no kids (too scared to get preg) and limited sexual experience (1 sexual partner who was my hubby who has not got HPV due to his history and is very faithful)

    I gave oral sex to a teen bf and gave and received oral sex with my first bf at 16 so worried I got HPV then.

    Stress can cause hormonal fluctuations which can make you spot. I know it's tough, but don't go thinking the worst just yet?

    Any number of things can cause this, and the vast, vast majority are totally benign.

    I get what you're saying, but here's something I've realised from years of wrangling my HA: Just because I'm feeling afraid, it doesn't mean there's anything to be afraid of. You have to learn to disconnect the feeling and the thought.

    My HA is the past has mainly been mole based so no active symptoms....this is probably the first time i have had ongoing symptoms so its very hard.

    Doctor on call at gps who takes phone conversations has booked me in with the gyno doctor at my practice (the one i thought i had) on the 22nd.

    Im holding in my poo so sure if i can wait til then.

    For goodness' sake, stop doing that! All it'll do is stop you seeing the blood, it won't solve any actual problem you might have and it could create others.
