I had treatment for CIN3 nearly two years ago at 32 years old. Now 34 and ever since that I've had trouble with bleeding between periods, I'm getting really fed up. Before Treatment, would only have bleed for 3-4 days when it was my period. Now I bleed more days of the month than I don't.
- Spotting/Light bleeding every single cycle from CD19-21. Continues until heavy flow starts (period) CD26-29.
- I have occasionally had a day of bleeding around CD8 - CD11. I never had this before treatment.
- Pelvic and Internal scan told all looked normal but womb lining thickened at CD18 when scanned. Bleeding started after internal scan.
- Had 'test of cure' 6 months after treatment, smear came back normal although I bled on contact with the sample brush and it continued all afternoon.
- I'm single so not had sex since treatment but if I did I imagine based on the fact I've bled each time anything has made contact with 'up there' that I would bleed.
When I had my last smear the doctor had a look at my cervix and claimed it looked fine and as she'd expect after Lletz/treatment so no action was taken.
I have been offered the pill to stop my bleeding but at my age i'm frightened to alter my hormones anymore as I have yet to have children. I would also prefer and would have hoped things would have sorted themselves out by now.
Is it just coincidence my hormones have become so imbalanced after the treatment? The few months before treatment were very stressful for me as I waited to find out if what I had was CIN or cancer.
