Back in 2022, after asking for my smear to be brought forward a couple months (24 at the time) I was told I had high grade CIN3 cell changes. I had these removed in January 2023 and my follow up colposcopy 6 months later was clear. I am not due my next smear until next year however I’ve been having niggling pains and a constant period like dull ache. My GP asked me to come in and as soon as she touched my cervix to do a smear, it started bleeding and had mucus inside it. She said my cervix feels normal but that the entrance to it didn’t look normal and that it could be scar tissue from my previous lletz. She also said she could see a polyp which sent my health anxiety clean away. Fast forward 3 days later and my ‘period like pain’ is so much worse at night time. It was that bad last night I thought I was going to have to go to a&e. When I woke up this morning it was gone. I’ve had no bleeding and I’m on the yasmin pill and have been for 14 years. I’m no due to take the 7 day window for a bleed for another 6 days. Has anyone else had concerning symptoms and been told they were okay? I am expecting my smear to be abnormal. I paid private for a women’s pelvic health scan and they didn’t see anything untoward. Any advice?
