Painful and Irregular Periods, Sterility, and an abnormal Pa Posted: 08-20-06 20:13pm
In my early teen i had an irregular per. I
would bleed heavy and have BAD cramps, and
every now and then The pain would be so
bad i couldnt stand, I would get a fever
and vomite. The hospital couldnt find
anything wrong, but my mom says she knows
its cists just like she had. i had an
oltrasound and it came up clean. I had a
pap a and it came back funky, so i went to
a specelest and she took a a pice of my
cirvic ... She said i had pre cancers
cells , but that it may clear its self up
or it may go the other way... thats was
about two years ago, my medical ran out
when i turned 19, i went to planperent
hood and got some birthcontrol and it
worked well i didnt have back cramps any
more and i was regular. ... Well Ive been
off the pill for a good year now and no
baby i had a really bad per. a wile ago i
would sit down on the toilet and blood
clots would almost gush out of me i
figured it was because i stoped taking the
pill and my body needed to adjust. I
really want to have a baby but i'm really
scared that that cant happen. i made an
app. to a clinic but they cant get me in
for another month for a pap. but i really
want to know my chances of having a baby.
please help... sorry about all the miss
spellings i dont think i could prof read
this and still send it, ... Thank you for
your time , TES

As I understand from your question, it
seem that you have 3 problems: painful
and irregular periods, sterility, and an
abnormal Pap-smear (precancerous cells).
The first two conditions are probably
related. Irregular cycles usually occur
without ovulation and can be the cause of
sterility. Irregular cycles can also
manifest heavy bleeding. Birth control
pills can help regulate menstrual cycles
but will continue to lack ovulation. In
fact, birth control pills and the hormones
therein stop ovulation. The point is that
after coming off them, the axis
hypothalamus-pituitary gland-ovaries
should spontaneously re-establish
ovulation and keep menstrual cycles
regular. It seems that in your, case birth
control pills didn’t help. You can
request hormonal examinations for all
hormones that impact fertility (FSH, LH,
prolactin, estrogen, progesterone,
testosterone, DHEA, thyroxin) and check if
you are ovulating, or not. If you aren't
ovulating, then you can consider
requesting ovulation stimulators
(clomifen).
The third condition you mention should be
taken very seriously. Precancerous lesions
on the cervix (dysplasions) can transform
themselves into a cancer sooner or later,
depending on their level of development.
You should take a Pap-test twice a year .
If the Pap indicates dysplasion of grade
II (mild) or III (severe), you can then
request a cone-biopsy (conisation). You
should be also checked for HPV-infection.
You may try to get pregnant only after you
treat all cervical precancerous lesions!
