Cervix worries

Have had some symptoms over the recent months -discharge smelling fishy, and occasional burning and cystitis feeling went to gp for swabs a few months ago and all came back clear. She said on examination she seen a white patch on cervix but wasn’t worried and that it could be where I had a cervical stitch at the end of last year.

Went back last week as although the smelling discharge has gone I am still having occasional cystitis symptoms, and now have a lower back ache and constant burning sensation. I also had one episode of bleeding the day after intercourse with lower abdomen tenderness. Another examination with a different nurse this time, she said there was a white patch and a red patch on the other side but that she also wasn’t worried and thinks it’s where I have had my stitch. She sent swabs off again and they came back with nothing but strep b (I have had this in pregnancy before but not pregnant now) and as far as I know it wouldn’t cause these symptoms.

My questions- has anyone had a cervical stitch and following cervical examination showed scarring? Also, has anyone had these symptoms with strep b?

I am going out of my mind with worry and I know there is nothing anyone here can do but it may help if anyone has any similar, especially positive stories!

Thank you

Has anyone not had anything similar? 🙄

Have you had a smear test lately? If that is/was clear, then it's unlikely serious. The discharge could be bacterial vaginosis, might be good to check exactly what they tested for before. Can actually get BV tests in chemists and supermarkets these days.

It sounds like you've just got cystitis OP? You didn't mention whether they took a urine dip?

Not that there's any 'just' about it, obviously!
