so i finally got an update on my heavy bleeding after sex… to re-cap i hadn’t had sex in 10 months and once i did, i started heavy bleeding during intercourse only for a day and for the next 2 days i spotted. thought nothing of it, till i got intimate again and started heavy bleeding enough to fill 2 pads within an hour.
got psyched out thinking i had cancer, went to planned parenthood for a pap smear and she told me i had a polyp or some polyps that had burst during intercourse which is the reason i bled the way i did. she also mentioned i had cervicitis and a friable cervix. she gave me antibiotics for the inflammation. i haven’t had sex since then scared i’m going to bleed again, which she said i shouldn’t but the friable cervix is really concerning me cause what a mood killer. i’m going nuts, i don’t want to bleed everytime i have sex 🥲
i was looking for anyone to see if they’ve had similar stories like mine but couldn’t find any. now i’m starting to question if she could be wrong which is very wrong of me but i’m an overthinker and always think of the worst. has this happened to anyone else?
not to mention, i tested positive for high risk HPV but not 16/18 with no abnormal cell changes. could this also be a result of hpv?
not looking for medical advice, just any similar experiences and if so, did the bleeding ever stopped for you? what did you do? i just need a peace of mind 😭😭 submitted by /u/Jealous_Wrangler_375
