Patient's Query

Dear doctor,

I am a 32 year old female. I had HPV and LEEP 12 years ago. Now, I have the following symptoms:

  • Bleeding during sex.
  • Heavy periods.
  • Extra painful abdomen pain.
  • Heavy feeling of fatigue and headaches.

Could I have cancer?

Answered by Dr. Gowrimeena

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

All the symptoms you have mentioned warrant a doctor visit with a full examination and Pap smear as a minimum, and colposcopy to be very sure. With your HPV and LEEP background, it is even more important that you get this done on priority.

In all probability, it may be nothing, or early pre-cancer, but it is better to check and get treated.

Hope this helps, take care.
