Cervical Cancer Linked to Colon Cancer Posted: 05-23-06 20:03pm
I am a 35 year old woman. Last year I
had four cancerous polyps removed from my
colon. I found my way to the doctor
because of severe rectal bleeding. This
bleeding has started again over the past
few months. In addition, I began having
abnormal menstrual bleeding. The rectal
bleeding always coincides with the
menstrual bleeding. In addition to the
bleeding, I have severe bloating and gas
and get very nauseous after every meal.
I visited my ob/gyn about 10 days ago and
received a phone call today informing me
that my pap smear came back showing severe
dysplasia and I now need to have a
colposcopy to determine the extent of the
problem...My question is... Are the two
possibly related? As I have not had a
pap smear in four years, I am very
concerned that I may have had the cervical
problem for quite some time and it has
spread. Any light that you can shed on
this is greatly appreciated.
