Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’ve been having spotting for up to 10 days before my period for at least 18 months! I’ve had multiple scans to rule out polyps, fibroids, etc.. and endless people poking around up there all to be told there’s nothing wrong. Unfortunately I’ve suffered multiple pregnancy losses (unrelated apparently) and it took my fertility doctor less than 5 seconds to tell me I had an ectropion cervix. The amount of relief I felt when I had a diagnosis was unbelievable. She used silver nitrate (totally painless) to keep the symptoms at bay, although I’ve still had spotting since, it’s just much less. I think I’ll end up going back to Colposcopy for a biopsy and further treatment if it continues but you sharing your story has helped me feel less alone with it, so thank you! Xx
I am so grateful for this. You literally just explained my entire experience and have never been diagnosed. I ended up getting a full hysterectomy at 28 years old because of this. I lost my chance to have more children over something so easily fixed. I pray to God no other Carl experiences what I went through. Videos like yours will change a person’s life for the better.
Thank you so much for this. My wife came back hpv negative and normal Pap smear. She has had inflammation and bleeds a lot after sex. She has PCOS and has been on the pill since she was 25 years old. The Dr took two biopsies today, and he told her based on what he sees, she has Cervical Ectropian. She has had normal Pap smears, so I pray things come back okay. Will keep you all posted and thank you for sharing your story.
So glad you’ve found the video helpful! It’s such a stressful and emotional thing to go through when you aren’t getting answers so I hope you’re close to the end of the diagnosis journey! 🫶🏼
Thank you, I’m so grateful for the NHS too. I’m 26 and been experiencing bleeding between periods for a few months but it’s gotten worse these last few days and heavier.. the go who saw me last week said she thinks it’s cervical erosions and maybe from taking the pill… crazy! She did her swabs and I find out my results on Monday! Hope your doing okay now! 🌸🍃
@@fatemaabbas1861 everything was okay, I guess the erosions solve themselves as when I went to hospital for my check they had vanished and they scanned my tummy and everything was fine. No explanation for the random bleeding but it’s been 6 months now and everything is back to normal, I guess our bodies can just do their own thing from time to time. Always get checked out though of course 💞
Really grateful you did this video. I have also been told I have ectropion, it’s been playing up today and making me stressed so good to know others having the same experience. I have had investigations done from my symptoms and so far nothing worrying found but it’s still scary when the bleeding happens. I am thinking I might ask for treatment if the bleeding gets worse so good to know what to expect 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience! My partner is having the same problem and this video has help us massively, really appreciate you taking the time to spread awareness on this topic! Thank you!!
Thanks for this. I tried searching for videos of women who were going through the same thing as me, but like you, I mostly just found medical videos that didn’t really resonate of weren’t that helpful. I have been struggling with bleeding and pain during I intercourse as well as spotting in between my period for a while now and I’m so thankful to finally have answers. It’s so mortifying having sex and turning on the lights and realizing “oh no, I bled again…What will he think?” It’s been a mega mood killer in my romantic life. Of course when I’m in a long term relationship my partner has been understanding at least. I got many ultrasounds and most recently an MRI because like you, they thought it could be a polyp or something only to have results come back completely polyp free and normal. It was only until I got referred to an amazing gynecologist that I finally got some answers. Right away when she took a look she was like “oh, you have cervical ectropion”. I wave of relief flooded me. I did the silver nytrate “burn” treatment (which wasn’t painful at all except for some mild camping afterwards, similar to a period cramp). I had to have two treatments and now everything seems to be back to normal (crossing my fingers!!) I don’t know really why I got this or what the cause was but I did notice some bleeding right when I started a new contraceptive called Nuva ring. I recently switched back to the pill to see if that might have been what caused it. Anyway, thanks for posting your video and spreading awareness. I appreciate you putting yourself through the slight embarrassment (which we truly shouldn’t be embarrassed about these things) to help other girls struggling with this. All the best :)
I was diagnosed with this a few months ago at a smear test, the nurse said it was probably caused by the pill (I was on rigevidon for 6 years) And for the last two or so years I’ve had pain during sex I’ve got a doctors appointment booked, As I’ve been off the pill now for months and it hasn’t improved I didn’t know there was treatment for this! so thank you so much for this video ❤️
I’m soo glad it’s been helpful for you! I spoke on the topic because I was the same as you and couldn’t find much information. I ended up having the laser treatment and am over a year post procedure now - I posted a years update video if you’re interested in hearing about it 😊
Thank you so much for this video!!! You truly gave me hope. ❤ I’ve been having these same symptoms and am currently in the ultrasound/xray stage, to rule out other possibilities but I’m 100% convinced this is what it is and I’m ready for treatment!
I had a colposcopy, biopsy & it burnt away yesterday. This is my story…. I went to the doctors as I can bleed for upto four weeks and after sex if it’s within a week or two of finishing my period. I’d had this for 3+ years. Anyway the GP had a look at my cervix then once I was dressed she started stroking my arm and said I’m sorry to tell you but you have cervical cancer!!!! She put me on the 2WW cancer referral. 16 days later at the hospital 2 doctors said straight away it’s ectropion not cancer! 16 days of hell for nothing! 6 weeks later (yesterday). Colposcopy showed nothing visual for cancer just ectropion. He took a biopsy anyway (just one) as he said he was going to treat it straight away and couldn’t biopsy after treatment. I still have to wait for the results which I believe are 8 weeks but I’m not worried at all now as the doctors aren’t! I didn’t get any anesthesia but I felt nothing coughing. Only thing I felt was the heat slightly. I so hope the bleeding stops and the pain like feeling winded during sex. Thanks for the video hun as there isn’t much about it from a personal perspective 😢
Oh my god what an emotional rollercoaster for you I’m so sorry 😔My GP was also really shocked when they did a smear check for the first time and it was obviously in the back of their mind but they referred me to a more experience doctor rather than sharing what they thought it could be. So sorry you had to go through those 16 days of hell! Hope the recovery goes well and your symptoms ease 🤞🏼🤞🏼💓
I found your videos from your aus vlogs as my partner and I are moving over the end of the year! Been loving them but I also stumbled across this video, I had to have a cervical ectropian cryosurgery 2 years ago after endless gyne appts - fortunately this sorted out my symptoms of spotting and pain! So nice to see this video because when I was diagnosed there also was nothing out there! Love from the UK xx
Ohh no way what a coincidence! So glad you got it sorted, it took me so many appointments aswell to finally get referred to people who knew what is was but I’m the same as you, since the treatment it’s sorted out my symptoms 👏🏼✨ thanks so much for watching! Xx
Thank you so much for this video - I to have just been told they think I may have cervical ectropion and this has put my mind at ease about going for the colposcopy… my anxiety has been crazy but you have put my mind at rest :) I went to the gp this week & got told my cervix was very red and angry and I had the same symptoms as you! Hope yours is still under control - Chelsea x
I was the same I was soo anxious in the lead up to the op but it was honestly fine and was over so quickly :) It helped with my symptoms soo much - good luck with the treatment! X
I never experienced any pain, but had intramenstrual bleeding for over a year and was super concerned. I saw a gynaecologist and he didn’t take any tests, but immediately diagnosed me with this after seeing my cervix with his eyes. He never mentioned any treatment for it, and 3 years later my symptoms haven’t stopped, so now I would consider a treatment :/
Really helpful video thank you Millie🩷 I just got diagnosed with cervical ectropion today after encountering sudden sharp, painful intercourse for 3 weeks now. The doctor also found a lump to the left of the cervix…not sure what that’s about but will see what tests say. I was wondering after you get the cells lasered off the cervix, did the doctors mention if they could regrow out onto the external cervix area again? And thank you, needed your video for reassurance ☺️
@@MillieWYT aha, makes sense. Hope these things never come back again. Really well done for putting this video online, i am sure it will help many out there. Thanks
Thankyou for this video! My dr thinks I may have this & is running tests at the moment. Being referred to a gynaecologist etc. I have the same symptoms, such pain when having sex and worked out I’ve been having this pain for 11 years!! Absolutely crazy. If it is this I cannot wait to have it fixed.
I had a regular pap smear my doctor said oh you have cervical ectropian. Did you know that? I was surprised. Now im having bleeding between periods and waiting for my appointment to see whats going on.
Thank you so much for making this video, I’ve had ectropion for 4 years and always felt like no one else was going through this. I was wondering what contraception you are on if any? I changed to a progesterone only pill but it hasn’t helped so I think I may be in the same boat as you and I’m just naturally high in oestrogen.
I’m not on any contraception now as I realised it was having a negative effect on how I was feeling - I was on a low oestrogen pill for 6 years though. I think I have naturally high levels as I only developed ectropion after having about 2 years off the pill so that must have been the length of time it took my hormones to go back to their natural levels
I was diagnosed with this during my first smear - I too have the same symptoms as you. I wasn't offered treatment though or offered any follow-up appointments. Is the treatment something you asked for, or just your gynaecologist following routine do you know?
I was referred to a gynaecologist who referred me to a colposcopy unit - it’s the colposcopy place that does the treatment. I believe it depends on your symptoms, as mine were bad the doctors knew I wanted it treated so you will need to ask to be referred :)
No I wasn’t! The hospital where I was referred to didn’t give me an option to pick whether I wanted them ‘frozen’ or ‘burnt’ so I think it depends where you’re referred to and what treatment they offer
@@MillieWYT Your video really comforted me because I was having the same symptoms from the cervical ectropion but my gyn had advised me that this condition was normal and that they usually do not treat it but after seeing your video and doing more research, I was able to push them to do something about it. I just recently had a silver nitrate application put on the ectropion so I’m hoping for the best. It was suggested that if this doesn’t work, that I should try cryotherapy but my gyn stated that it could cause infertility. So I’m just trying to find more literature on safe treatments for it. Us women go through so much. But thank you for your candor and for posting this because so many women already have and may experience this at some point in life.
Hi I'm having spotting between periods from 3 years will cramps and today I self examined my cervix and it's bright red. Is this cervical ectropion please reply I'm worried
I had my smear today and was told by the lady I have this! I was like what on earth is this but do have some symptoms described. She said it can happen after having a child too. I wasn't advised any treatment. I seem to be coping so maybe not on the scale for treatment so far
That’s exactly what I thought when I was told I had it haha. Yes I’ve heard that aswell because of the change in hormones! Glad you are coping with it and don’t be treatment :)
So much pain with pap smears with ectropion yesss. And what really makes me sad is i had a inexperienced new female doctor who would scrape and scrape and SCRAPE mine till i was nauseous and in pain. When i switched doctors it was so quick! Still painful but she said it was normal to have pain with ectropion cervix. One time she asked if she could use my cervix to teach her nurse in training what an ectropian looked like. I was like "Sure, what the heck, whats one more person looking today" 😆 ugh
Ahh so bad isn’t it!! Yess when I switched to a specialist she literally took 2 seconds! Silver lining is that atleast that nurse will now know what it looks like if someone else is needing help 🥲✨
@MilliewickensYT True. But yeah like you said in the video the exam anxiety real! It's no joke! I don't know how you endured that procedure with them putting a needle in to freeze it up first then buring it. Dang you're 💪 strong.
I have recently been diagnosed with this too! I have had a biopsy just because I was given the option, and I thought best to check and rule it out x Once the results are back I then have the treatment. Did you experience random shooting like pains prior to treatment? Xx I have the spotting and pain with sex, and definitely a increase in random pains x
Yes I did aswell! I actually completely forgot about that symptom as I don’t think I realised it was linked and don’t have it anymore after treatment :) I’m glad you’ve got your diagnosis and treatment plan! X
Oh that’s made me feel little more settled because I for sure feel like it’s related to the CE. It’s almost like a raw stretching/ shooting pain for sure. Thankyou for such a fast reply and this video xxxx I’m also the same, not on the any birth control, so possible high oestrogen levels. It’s nice to not feel alone xx
It wasn’t bad because I had anaesthetic so couldn’t feel anything! Also my ectropion covered about 90% of the cervix’s so maybe that’s why the healing time was so longer :)
So shocking it isn’t something GP’s are that aware of?! Could save women years of anxiety & pain 💔 ps I had the laser treatment about 2 years ago now and have had no issues since 🫶🏼
It’s my understanding that this doesn’t effect fertility but you may need a c section rather than a natural birth if you get the laser treatment (was told this by my doctor)
Thankyou so much for sharing your story. I'm 41 and for sure this is what I have had undiagnosed for years. Random bleeding and discomfort during sex my whole life. Doctors telling me I'm fine but my cervix looks "different" but they can't seem explain what exactly is the cause of anything!!! Iv had 4 biopsies or more over the years which just always comes back negative but causes more bleeding for months.. so many embarrassing moments during what should be romantic moments.. iv been left having to explain/apologize for why my body just does this sometimes..🤷♀️ when I don't even know how to explain it because my doctors didn't even explain it to me. Other then I'm different... wow. How do so many doctors not know how to spot this? I just found this video after watching the two you spoke of. And due to having a pap smear only to be in pain and bleeding for over a week now after. I need to finally fix this. Thankyou so so much for sharing! ❤❤❤

@@jadiebarker1045 hi im getting sharp pain in my cervix i guess is tht normal. I'm so freaked out
I mean is tht normal?
How about deflagyn as treatment!!
How was the hip or pelvic pain daily if U experience any of that?
I didn’t have any hip pain but I did/do have pelvic pain. I’m still not at the root of this though so it could be from a mix of things!
Gosh, I had silver nitrate cauterisarion and that is just 1.5 weeks to heal with no sex. Sounds less traumatic than the heat.
It wasn’t bad because I had anaesthetic so couldn’t feel anything! Also my ectropion covered about 90% of the cervix’s so maybe that’s why the healing time was so longer :)
Oh my god that’s happening to me. I went to 4 doctors until they could tell me the real diagnosis. He recommended me to laser it off
So shocking it isn’t something GP’s are that aware of?! Could save women years of anxiety & pain 💔 ps I had the laser treatment about 2 years ago now and have had no issues since 🫶🏼
@@MillieWYTmy procedure is on Thursday I’ll let you know how it goes 💕. (I knowww I had to go to an gynecologist-endocrinologist to find out)
Is everything still good?
Yess ☺️
Is it possible to get pregnant after this?
It’s my understanding that this doesn’t effect fertility but you may need a c section rather than a natural birth if you get the laser treatment (was told this by my doctor)
Thankyou so much for sharing your story. I'm 41 and for sure this is what I have had undiagnosed for years. Random bleeding and discomfort during sex my whole life. Doctors telling me I'm fine but my cervix looks "different" but they can't seem explain what exactly is the cause of anything!!! Iv had 4 biopsies or more over the years which just always comes back negative but causes more bleeding for months.. so many embarrassing moments during what should be romantic moments.. iv been left having to explain/apologize for why my body just does this sometimes..🤷♀️ when I don't even know how to explain it because my doctors didn't even explain it to me. Other then I'm different... wow. How do so many doctors not know how to spot this? I just found this video after watching the two you spoke of. And due to having a pap smear only to be in pain and bleeding for over a week now after. I need to finally fix this. Thankyou so so much for sharing! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience!
