Hi, wondering if anyone can shed some light on this or has had similar.. I am 25 and just had the results of my smear back which says I have high grade dyskariosis. I know this isn't too much to worry about alone- although I am anyway! But what is also concerning me is that since January, I have had repeated water infections which antibiotics are not getting rid of. The usual cystitis symptoms have recently changed to having an urgent need to wee- I can sometimes go up to once an hour. I am currently awaiitng an appointment to have ultra sound scans etc for this but in the meantime I have seen a cervical cancer awareness post on fb that says if you have these symptoms along with bloating and feeling full quickly (which I also have but put down to IBS) then it may be a sign of ovarian cancer.
Now I am beside myself, keep crying and cant wait to call the hospital Monday for my colposcopy appointment. I don't know if I am 2 with 2 and getting 5 or I actually have something to be worried about :(
I know how worrying it can be when you don't know what is wrong. I think you probably are addin 2 and 2 and getting 5, BUT no harm getting it all checked out. The wee issue has obviously been a problem for a while, so at least now there will be some investigation done and hopefully you will be able to rule out more serious problems.
monday will be here quickly, you will sort an appointment , and then you are on the path to knowing. Try to stay positive and stay in the moment rather than thinking ahead.
When I went for my first smear, I had been back and forth at the doctor's for flu-like symptoms that seemed to be lingering. I was about 9 months overdue for my first smear test, which I decided to book for the same day as a visit to my GP. I also had stomach pain, back pain, a little spotting and discharge. My smear didn't go well - I bled more than was normal, there was thick discharge and the nurse said she was referring me immediately to colposcopy because she saw "something suspicious".
I immediately married up all the symptoms I'd been experiencing and freaked out. My smear ended up being normal and the "something suspicious" was a cervical polyp which was tested and came back normal too. Turns out the antibiotics I'd been on for the flu-like symptoms had given me a yeast infection, but that was all. I know our symptoms aren't the same but just wanted to say that it's possible to tick all the serious symptoms boxes and end up being diagnosed with something totally benign.
