Good morning all, I am not sure if I am on the right website but just need a little advise and hopefully hear stories of similar experiences to mine so my mind is at ease.
The past 2 years I have had CIN 2 and it’s recurred twice I’ve had 2 leeps and biopsy’s done. This year my smear test came back fine but I was getting seen by my gynaecologist for concerns of my vulva and insisted I needed a biopsy done on my cervix and possibly my vulva I have a lump on both. I ended up walking out of hospital and not having my biopsy. I have recently come back positive for HPV.
I know it will sound silly that I walked out of hospital and couldn’t face getting another biopsy done 6 months later but I was in a lot of pain and just couldn’t understand why I needed a biopsy done on my cervix if my smear test came back clear but I have HPV? I wasn’t in my usual department with the nurses I have had for the last 2 years and she would usual do my biopsy but no I was in the vulvoscopy clinic which I thought was to see my lump on my vulva and nothing to do with my cervix but he was insisting I needed a biopsy done on my cervix.
I have been getting irregular bleeding and clotting and pain during sex, but I mark that down to the fact I have pcos and I do have awful pelvic and back pain. But the one thing that concerns me the most other then the cervical biopsy is this dreadful heavy achy pain I have on my vulva were the lump is located and the pain can least for a few minutes until hour and I feel this every couple of weeks. But I get sharp pain in my cervix that makes me double over that lasts couple of seconds but that has been more regular not sure if it’s because of the lump on my cervix or the fact of the leep procedures I have had. But I can’t shake the feeling of the fear of the ‘WHAT IF’ I do have cervical cancers or vulva cancer. I am 23 this January and been told so many times that I am to young to have cervical&vulva cancer.
I hope someone has had similar experiences and slight confusion as me to explain why I need cervical biopsy done.
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear about all the tests and biopsies you've had to have over the last few years.
I don't have any experience with these types of procedures to draw on but I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses. This might be because no one in this group has had the same experiences as you or that the right person hasn't read your post yet.
It can be very scary when you don't understand why a biopsy needs to be done so it would probably be a good idea to go and have a chat with your GP as they should have access to your records and be able to tell you why your consultant wanted this doing.
I do hope you can find the information you need
