I have previously, about 15 years ago, had CIN3 cells removed. Since then I have gone on to develop severe Vaginismus, making smears impossible. However, I now have some worrying symptoms such as bloating, bleeding and terrible pelvic pain. My GP referred me to the hospital for a smear under sedation, which the hospital have refused to do. Instead they have told me to use dilators for 6 months, but because of the severity of Vaginismus and the PTSD issues I have, I just can't do it. I don't know what to do! My consultant didn't seem interested and another consultant was a man who was so rough and inconsiderate I didn't go back.
