: : I have a question. I have had two abnormal pap smears in the last year and a half. I am due back for a thrid pap smear to see what the doctor is going to do if it comes back abnormal again. The first time it was abnormal he assumed that my IUD was causing the inflammation that was present and that I might have a slight infection from that and put me on antibiotics, right after I had the IUD removed. Six months later I went back for the next pap smear hoping for a normal one, because everything seemed normal. Nope, it wasnt. Last month, I started having pain in the le.ft side of my uterus, a light brown discharge, that sooned turned into heavy dark brown after a couple of days. Seven days of that, then my regular period, then normal again. Well the pain started again. There is no odor, and my doctor cant see me till The 28th. Should I wait, or force him to see me right now. And does anyone have any clue what might be going on?

: If I were you I would go too another doctor. After Two abnormal pap smears you should have had a colopscopy. That its a procedure where they take some tissue from your cervix and get a better idea of what is going on. Bleeding and pain, with two abnormal pap smears could mean you have a very bad infection. But nothing that cant be healed if caught early. PLEASE GO see another doctor.

I agree with Megan that you need to get a new doctor asap. I have been in your situation with the abnormal pap smear but had the colposcopy too. I am fortunately fine now. Don't risk you health and possibly your life by continuing to see this doctor. When you call for an appointment with a new doctor please inform the receptionist that you have had a some positive pap tests and are now have some problems ie: the bleeding and pain and would like to be seen ASAP so that they don't put your appointment off far into the future thinking this is just for a routine pelvic exam
