Cervical Ectropic/Erosion

[PuddingPie16]

I am 5 months PP and have suffered with a non-stop discharge since giving birth. After many trips to the GP, swabs and a smear, I finally got a gynae referral. After examination, Doctor informed me my cervix was ectropic/had a small erosion. She said this is very common, especially after pregnancy and can be treated. She also said this is what can cause the discharge and irregular spotting (I don't have that).

Next will be a closer look on a microscope and a biopsy (to check for pre-cancerous cells that the smear may have missed - apparently they do this as standard?) and then if all clear, a procedure under local to restore the cervix back to normal.

A little frightened by the whole thing if I am honest so any advice or sharing of experiences would be massively helpful please?

Thank you.

Bump?

It's really really common, it's just one of those things people don't talk about because who generally wants to talk about their cervix in casual conversation?

Its really common. Always had one, often contraceptive pill related. Mine has been bleeding a lot during pregnancy as it has grown. (Im 30 weeks).

If they can treat it let them. Regret not getting mine sorted now.

Yes I agree if you can get it treated do.

Mine bled all the time pre dc 1, then between Dc1 and getting pregnant with DC2 it seemed to completely cure itself so I didn't bother.

Pregnant with DC2 now and it has already caused 4 'bleeds' which although are completely unproblematic in themselves, I'm a rh negative blood group which means I have to go and get an injection every time it happens which is a complete pain in the arse.
