Cervical ectropion

[Katie2468]

Hi i have cervical ectropion that bleeds after sex and i also get vaginal discharge because of the ectropion. Does anyone have cervical ectropion and never chose to get the cervical ectropion treated?

I had mine cauterised and that stopped all the random spotting/bleeding. I had an anaesthetic as they did it as part of a hysteroscopy. Have you been told if it is likely to heal if just alone?

Oh son did you have cervical ectropion? Also how many years has it been?

It hadnt been too long. I had a painful smear test and the nurse spotted it then. After that I kept spotting so after a few months was sent for an ultrasound where they thought they could see a polyp, booked for hysteroscopy where they cauterised the extropian whilst I was there.

I chose to not have treatment. I don't always bleed after sex but most times, and 50% of those are more than just spotting.
The doctor said I could have it cauterised but chances are it would come back so as it doesn't affect me day to day, I thought I would just leave it. If it gets worse then I'll reconsider.

I had mine cauterised about 15 years ago and haven't experienced any bleeding since; there was usually quite a lot of blood and so it was fairly distressing. I was very worried about the procedure, but it was actually fine, and I was very relieved that it sorted the issue.

Thanks ladies. Its nice to have some support.

I am considering treatment as it really worries me when i bleed after sex.
