Cervical ectropion

[keeponplodding7]

I have had 16 weeks of really uncomfortable thick white/yellow discharge - lots of tests - all negative / and finally this week after a hysteroscopy they saw cervical ectropion which apparently can cause this. I have had two other examinations and it wasn’t mentioned before. I’m to go back in 4 weeks and talk about treatment options. Has anyone had this and had successful treatment? I’ve never had spotting/bleeding with it.

Hi,

i didn’t have the symptoms that you have but I have been treated for ectropion twice. It’s honestly fine, they usually treat with silver nitrate, initially it’s quite crampy so definitely packing some painkillers and you’ll want to wear a pad for few days as there’s usually a bit of black ash like discharge

day after both of my treatments I was right as rain back in the gym & lifting kids etc.

hope all goes well xx

Oh thank you that’s good to hear. I’ve heard that some people have a biopsy with it - which hasn’t been mentioned to me. I am due a smear test in July - my last one was all ok - but I’m wondering if I should ask for that to be done a bit early as well….

I had heard the same too & they said they was nothing they could see that warranted a biopsy, I think it depends what they see on examination. X

I had unexplained bleeding in my mid 50s. Lots investigations, nothing sinister found. The closest I got to an explanation was the nurse doing a smear test who mentioned she could see I had CE. She said that causes bleeding often.

My symptoms stopped about the same time as the smear when I finaly got into menopause I guess.

Hey! I had it done this afternoon and having horrible period like cramps…..panicking that I’ve made everything worse. But you mentioned this so guess it didn’t last long? Thank you

oh noo, sorry to hear that!! Yes from memory it didn’t last long at all. Xx
