I am 24 years old and scared that I will be diagnosed with cervical cancer. I have heavy abnormal bleeding, especially after intercourse. The bleeding has been known to last 3-4 days. Yesterday, I had a pap and noticed bleeding the very next time I used the bathroom. It was light at first, so I thought it was just spotting. I woke up this morning and found that I had bled through my underwear and pajamas. I'm at work now and still experiencing the heavy bleeding and cramps. Please note that this is my third round of heavy bleeding in 4 weeks. I called the doctor's office this morning (GYN/ONC), but she's in surgery all day. Part of me wants to run to the ER because I'm so scared, but I have a transvaginal ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow and think it might just be better to wait.
Please give me your thoughts. I'm trying to be strong, but I keep having breakdowns at work. I'll be ok for a bit, and then I'll go to the bathroom and see all the blood and start to cry. I'm sooo scared right now. I'm really looking forward to having children someday, and now my body's threatening to take that away from me.
Please help. I would appreciate all thoughts. Please.
