Cervical Cancer Or Just Stress/being Rough?? Posted: 08-16-07 03:30am
I'm twenty years old and have only been
with one man, my husband of nearly two
years. A few times I have spotted between
periods, it was pink and sometimes brown
very very light I didn't even have to wear
a pad. Several times when rough I have
bled after sex (this would usually be
after a while without having any.). Since
being married my period has changed (it
used to be seven days and extremely
heavy.) Now it is around eight or nine
days and will be light one month than
heavy the next, like a pattern. I am a
hypohcondriac so it is extremely hard to
go to the doctor also because I am a bit
poor and can't afford it. I have
increasingly high levels of stress due to
my hyphocondria so maybe it's just in my
head, any advice would be most helpful.
Thank you.

Bleeding is not uncommon after rough sex
or if you are too dry. However, since you
are sexually active, you should be seeing
an ob-gyn for your yearly pap anyway. Any
bleeding should be brought to the
attention of the ob-gyn. It's usually
nothing, but bleeding can be a sign of
larger problems.
You don't need money to see an ob-gyn.
Places like Family Planning or Planned
Parenthood will charge you little or no
money for an exam.
