Q: Growth on cervix
asked by: Razzy86 on January 22nd, 2008

I just had my annual physical done today and my doctor noticed I have a small growth on my cervix. She said it was most likely not cancerous. (I know she didn't say that to keep me from worrying until I find out, she gave me the Gardasil shot right after)

I'm trying to look up information but all I get is cancer-this and cancer-that...

Has anyone had a growth that wasn't cancerous? And if so what is it called?

How old are you? Have you had sex before?

This is something you should ask your doctor about. However, if s/he said it wasn't cancer... it isn't cancer. Smile

I'm 21, and I've had sex with one person. I haven't had sex since August and we always used condoms.

I have been "fooling around" with my bf but we have not had sex.

Edit: She is having me get an ultrasound done, and depending on how that goes I might be getting a biopsy.

She actually didn't say. But I know It must have come recently, I had a pap done in September because I was having pain in my abdomen, but there was nothing there.

It could just be a benign growth on the cervix, like pollops or fibroids. Other than that, I have no clue!

Well only the doctor can tell. Just wait on the results and don't worry about. If the pap smear is fine I wouldn't worry about it.

I found out about a month ago that i have a growth on my cervix....I just went to see a ob/gyn yesterday and she was going to do a pap but couldnt because my cervix bleeds easily....wat she did was cut a few pieces of the growth off and sent it away for tests....then she told me it looked like cervical cancer, the reasons are the growth was 3cm long, how it looked and the bleeding i have been having between periods and after intercourse and she referred me to an oncologist....I am 31yrs old....my last pap before all this was 2yrs ago....I am patiently waiting for the oncologist to call me...this is all i think about everyday all day....

I went to the OB/GYN last week and he found what he explained as an inch long growth on my cervix. He also told me not to worry, but that he wasn't sure what it was?!? He wanted me to wait until PAP results were back (which are taking longer than normal becuase of the holiday) before he told me my next steps. I tried to check it out myself today and it is now more like 3 inches! I can't find anything about how fast they may grow.....
