Hi all,
I had a coloscopy almost 3 weeks ago and am anxious awaiting the results.
I had my implant removed two years ago as was trying for a baby and started tracking my cycle and it has been very irregular. I was told it would take a while for my system to get back to normal after contraception for over 10 years. My GP checked my bloods at the time and felt around my pelvis and felt inside - I also had an internal and external ultrasound within this time that all came back fine. None of this can check for cervical cancer though can it?
I called and spoke to a different GP recently because of my continued irregular bleeding and now back pain who suggested looking at my cervix and saw that I have a red inflammed area that he thought might be an epitotrian but when I went for my biopsy she said she didnt think it was that. I asked if I had any abormal cells and she said no but wouldnt tell me anymore. Can you still have cervical cancer without abormal cells?
I just wish they would have looked at my cervix from 2 years ago when I approached them with my concerns. My last smear was ok that was almost 3 years ago.
Is anyone else in this same position or can anyone offer any advice?

Hi and welcome to the online community
Waiting for results is definitely a very stressful time and it's natural that you have lots of questions about what could be wrong.
Having not been in the same position as you I'm sorry that I can't offer any explanation for your symptoms but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post these questions in the ask a nurse section of the online community and one of the specialist nurses will aim to respond within 2 working days.
Do come back and let us all know how you get on with your results.
