Hi all,
I had a pap test on friday and I am waiting for the results. Tomorrow I go for a pelvic ultrasound because I have been having unusual pains lower abdomen for about six months - I was overseas so havent had the chance to see a doctor, except I got tested for all STD's a month ago and all results were negative. On tuesday I will get the 1st HPV immunisation shot.
I am 22 and have been sexually active and on the pill since I was 16. I have had 12 different sex partners, often unprotected. Stupid, I know - I was young and unaware and now my number one priority is my health!! Hope its not too late...
What do you think my painful symptoms mean? could it be cervical cancer? What is pelvic inflammatory disease and is it related to HPV? could my STD results have been wrong?
I am so anxious and worried about my health because I know I have made some bad choices in the past and my boyfriend and I want to settle and have kids in the next few years. I am worried I have ruined my chances of having kids, or worse- I have cancer and will die young!! Please, any advice will help.
