Can cervical cancer be undetected on a Pap smear and scans?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 19-year-old female with a weight of 132 pounds. I have consulted many doctors to know the cause of my issue. I have a list of symptoms such as headache, swollen lymph nodes, chest pain, bone, muscle, and joint pain, low-grade fever, pelvic pain, irregular periods, vaginal discharge, loss of appetite, weight loss, bright bloody stool, constipation, fatigue, and abdominal pain. I have done two CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis. But nothing was shown.

I did a transvaginal ultrasound six months ago. It does not show any cysts on my cervix. I did a CT scan and an MRI of my head, and nothing was shown. A CT scan of the throat was taken, and nothing was shown.

An ultrasound of the abdomen was taken, and it showed a 6 mm polyp on my gallbladder. My ultrasound of the pelvis does not show anything. I took an X-ray of my chest, back, and pelvis. Nothing was shown. A degenerative disc was shown in my lower back. I have done all types of blood tests. Everything came back normal.

Now, I have a polyp in my gallbladder, a while lesion on my cervix which was found during a pelvic examination, and a degenerative disc in my lower back. I had a pap smear, and nothing abnormal was found. CBC, ANA, blood test for RA, and lupus came back negative. Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain fever came back negative.

I can see a trace of blood in my urine. I have lost the urge to urinate. Can I have cervical cancer that is not being found in any scans or blood tests? I do not have any anxiety regarding my pain.

Kindly help me.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have an unlikely chance of having cancer in the cervix, as you have a negative pap smear. Generalized pain or malaise occurs due to autoimmune disorders, and it shows raised ANA (antinuclear antibody) levels. Do not be worried. You can take medications, and they will help you a lot.

You can take one tablet Wysolone (Prednisolone) 40 mg one tablet in the morning for five days, then 20 mg one tablet in the morning for five days, take 10 mg one tablet in the morning for five days, then take 10 mg one tablet in the morning on alternate days for six days, and then stop taking it.
You can take one tablet of Pregaba (Pregabalin) 150 mg at night.
Tablet Shelcal CT (Calcium with vitamin D3), one tablet at night.
Tablet Paracetamol 500 mg, one tablet in the morning, afternoon, and night.

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Thank you.
