Hi, my name is Valarie and I would love some feed back from you guys.
I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with severe Endometriosis. But, the last month or so I've been spotting after sex. I went to my Dr. and he said that it was probably my Endometriosis back again. He did test for STD's and did a pelvic unltrasound. Both those tests were clear. Now he has told me to just see if my symptoms (heavy periods, spotting after sex, pain in lower abdomin)persist. This is nothing like the symptoms I had when I last had Endometriosis.
After doing some research on line, I see that these are classic symptoms for cervical cancer. I did call the Dr. last week and insist on a Pap test (he says since my last one almost a year ago was fine, he didn't see the need). But, I persisted and have an appointment for Oct. 7th.
I guess from here I just want some advice. Should I seek a second opinion? What should I do if the pap test is clear? I'm still worried about these symtoms as they feel nothing like I've had before... especially the spotting after sex. Thanks for listening... I'm not really sure where to turn for advice.
