I know it's pathetic really and people are suffering way more than me but I'm worried and anxious about a GP appointment next week. I initially made the routine appointment nearly a month ago (only emergency appointments are available on the day). I've noticed since end Aug my neck has a slight swelling around the oesophagus which is gradually increasing.
Since making that appointment another issue has come to light. After a long time abstaining I've had sex twice and each time after I've had lower abdominal pain. Last time was Wed night and I still have mild cramps and a bloated weird feeling now.
I'm scared tbh. I remember years back I had to have a procedure to check something but can't remember exactly what. Possibly something showed up on a smear? I'm 46 now and it was all clear at the time.
So when I tell GP next week what will they do? Will I need an internal examination?
I have no idea if female or male doctor and am dreading the whole thing.
Sorry for waffling but if anyone has been through similar I'd appreciate advice/info as to what will happen.
