Worried about symptoms

Hi, I'm only 20 but I am worried about symptoms. 

I have recently noticed this month I have been bleeding between periods (spotting).

I also experience some pain during sex. 

I know this could be many things but I am just getting really worried.

 

 

Hi Megan,

my only advice which I imagine would mirror advice from anyone else would be to speak to your GP. You need to be strong willed as we've all heard stories of people being fobbed off but make an appointment with your GP, explain your symptoms and ask if they will consider giving you a smear test to give you peace of mind. If your GP is a good egg they will likely want to do some other investigative work maybe send you for an internal scan etc.

 

Easier said than done but try not to worry! As you've said it could be a number of many things. Most important thing is get your GP appointment booked. You know your body and so it's worth getting checked out :) xx
