Hi,
I am 29 and have no children. I have a history of horrific period pains which has led me to be on the pill since I was 14. At 24 I started having bleeding after sex so was referred for a laparoscopy where they told me I had cervical abrasion and suspected endometriosis (I had adhesions but they couldn’t determine the cause). I had a smear at this time and all was fine. I then went for my routine smear at 26, all was fine and then my most recent 6 weeks ago. It took 5 weeks to get a result which I found worrying in itself, and then I get referred for a copolscopy for moderate high grade abnormalities.
I have continued to have abdominal pain and random bleeding (mostly after sex) since the problem started 5 years ago and am awaiting another, more detailed laparoscopy.
My problem is not that I’m worried that I have cancer, but over the years I have been poked and prodded down there by some not so friendly doctors, so much that I’ve developed a very strong phobia. I had to take diazepam before my smear and still cried during.
I am just about ok with the copolscopy with the help of a sedative but I am hoping I can refuse the loop or biopsy unless I am put to sleep. I know this is extreme but I really cannot get an injection in my cervix without being traumatised. Does any one know if this is an option? I am due to have gynae surgery in the next two months anyway.
Sorry for the rambling post post but I’ve been awake every night fretting since I got my result. Also, if anyone knows if cervical abrasion can cause abnormal results please let me know!
