Cervical problems and pain - cancer? Posted: 02-27-08 12:19pm
Hi -
For the last 7 months I have been on a
roller coaster of gyn / cervical issues.
Briefly, I had an abnormal pap test (first
one) last July that said CIN 2 and 3. I
had a colpo and several biopsies that came
back completely normal. After that I went
for a second opinion and had a pap in Oct
that came back completely normal. As
another followup I had another colposcopy
and pap in January. The pap came back
normal, but the biopsy said CIN 1 with no
ECC involvement.
Throughout this time I have been
experiencing painful intercourse. it feels
like a sore, burning - similar to a yeast
infection, but i don't have one. recently
i felt rectal pressure during intercourse
too. I have also been experiencing
constipation and I had three UTI's over
the summer. i am so scared - I know
something is not right!!
Do you think I have cancer and they just
can't find it? Could birth control pills
have anything to do with this? I started
on yaz in July. I got married this year
and want to have a baby next year...
Please help!

What types of bacteria were causing your
UTI's?
Do you usually have abnormal menstrual
periods?
CIN1 or mild dysplasia can be identified
by regular cervical screening with a Pap
test and is definitively diagnosed by a
colposcopy and directed biopsy (biopsy is
the only way to know for sure if you have
cancer, because it allows your doctors to
get cells that can be examined under a
microscope)
