.... I'm really scared.... so scared that I can't sleep. Since the age of 17 I have had chronic UTI's, never have had a steady monthly.... and am hypoglycemic. At the age of 21 I started having unbearable pain ...... like a huge cramp..... that makes you not even want to move.... I would have them for about an hr.... it almost felt like a explosion in me..... my rectum, vagina and stomach.... would hurt so bad ... that I would cry..... Sex seemed to trigger it...... SO I stopped have sex.... and started to fear it...... this started to happen 9 months ago...... two months ago the pain started to come on by itself....... If I would of had medical insurance I would of seen a doc asap..... I finally have medical insurance..... I payed a visit to the doc....... I explained my pain .... endometriosis runs in my family.... so I figured maybe this is what I have....... Friday I found out I have HPV......................... I was shocked........ I have only had two sexual partners..... my high-school sweet heart and my now boyfriend.................... I didn't even expect to have HPV........ NOW I AM SO SCARED.........that I may have cervical cancer, instead of what I assumed to be endometriosis ...... do these symptoms point to it....... I have just had a pap.... getting ready for for further testing....... I have very low energy ( for the past 7 months), I do have spotting, when I have that killer cramp.... it hurts my rectum, vagina, ... my whole mid section... to the point of me not moving for an hr, I do not have a regular period, I am hypoglycemic, i am always constipated.... even though I am a health nut ...... I have such a hard time using the restroom, I have chronic UTI's.............. I am reaching out because the Doc I have, I feel doesn't care, before first meeting her...... I could hear her happy next door helping a soon to be mother, I heard her leave the room and flipping through my chart...... she got angry at her medical staff..... and said ........ I do not want to see these type of patients............ by the time she came in my room she was an hour and a half late.......then she opened the door smiled at me and introduced herself........... her staff is awful and left my results on my VM a month after my pap..... this was only after I called 100 times............. finally when I did talk to someone ...... they were reading another patients chart...... telling me I had a MRI......... I told her wrong patient........... I am scheduled 6 weeks out for my coreoscopy............. I have already scheduled a 2nd opinion with another doc, which is 2 weeks out................. Meanwhile I am just waiting..... and freaking out................. I know the mind is powerful.... and sometimes I feel like maybe I am just freaking out for no reason............ but I DO NOT FEEL WELL........ I AM SO SCARED............ I AM SO AFRAID I HAVE CANCER and because I have these crazy pains ........ I fill like maybe it has spread to my rectum and stomach........... IF I DIDN'T HAVE THESE PAINS.... I don't think I would be so worried........ I feel like I am discomfort about 70% of the time............ do any of you have endometriosis and hpv??? I feel like because I went into the Doc's office and told her I think I may have endometriosis ...... she is just going with it..... there has been no testing....... meanwhile .... I could really have cancer.......... sorry..... I know I am freaking out....

Honey I am answering though I don't have this..I am upset for you that the doctor and staff are so horrible..To hear a doc say that is sickening to me..They don't care they can be heard behind a closed door..
Get a second opinion asap..That you didn't get your results and had to keep calling says alot as well..
I am glad you have insurance so go to a specialist in womens health..I don't know where you live but is there a good teaching hospital nearby or a great womens center? If not look for an OBGYN who specializes in all of womens health..
Honey I hope all goes well for you..k

Endometriosis/HPV

I have both Endometriosis and HPV. Please get back to me if you want to talk. I was in shock when I found out I had HPV. My endometriosis began right when I had my first period at age 11. I knew there was something wrong immediately because my period pain was so severe I couldn't walk, I would get into the fetal position on my bed and not go to school. Perhaps my endometriosis started earlier than yours did? Concerning the HPV, I have a high risk strain that can lead to cervical cancer. I am 31 years old, and my pap showed abnormal cells. I am going in for a colposcopy in 3 weeks. During this procedure the doctor looks at your cervix with a camera that does not enter your body. Did you doctor schedule a colposcopy for you? Also, in order to know if you have endometriosis, you should also schedule an out-patient surgery called a Laparscopic surgery. During this procedure, the surgeon or gynocologist will make 3 small incisions in your abdomen. Two will be for the two tools used to move your organs around, and the third tool they put inside is the scope, which is a thin camera they use to look at your organs. Not sure if you've had a laparoscopic surgery to diagnose your endo. I'm actually going in for that shortly as well.
Concerning your cervical cancer scare, as far as I know, they are able to tell if you have or do not have cervical cancer by your pap. I MAY be wrong about that though. I realize that I'm posting this a month after you've wrote in. Please let us know what's going on.

Actually, they cannot tell if you have cervical cancer from a pap smear. A pap smear detects cell changes. It is the biopsy (colposcopy) that will tell you what degree those cells have changed.

Cervical cancer takes a very long time to grow and change. It is unlikely at 21/22 you have cancer. More likely that you have some low to high grade cell changes. Dysplasia is not cancer. It is dysplastic cells that are treated by removing them from the cervix with simple procedures that take less than 5 minutes. A second opinion on a pap smear is not necessary. A second opinion on the biopsy might be warranted though.

Good luck!
