HIGHLY ABNORMAL PAPSMEAR

by J'S MOM, Sep 21, 2003 12:00AM
MY 19 YR OLD DAUGHTER HAD HER 1ST PAPSMEAR A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER A LONG BATTLE TO GET HER THERE. SHE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF EXTREMELY HEAVY BLEEDING DURING MENUSTRATION. SHE HAS HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE BUT HAS HAD ONLY ONE PARTNER AND THEY BOTH WERE VIRGINS. SHE HAS NOT BEEN ACTIVE FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. SHE IS AWAY FOR SCHOOL AND WENT TO DR WHERE SHE IS. I RECEIVED CALL YESTERDAY THAT SHE HAS A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT TUESDAY AS HER PAPSMEAR RESULT WAS HIGHLY ABNORMAL. I HAD ONLY ONE ABNORMAL PAPSMEAR, DYSPLASIA IN '89 AND THEY DID FIND PRECANCEROUS CELLS DURING CONE BIOPSY AND REMOVED. I ALSO Have endometriosis. DID NOT KNOW IF EITHER OF THESE THINGS COULD BE RELATED. PLEASE ADVISE ME OR POSSIBLY GUIDE ME TO A PLACE OF REFERENCE SO I MAY EDUCATE MYSELF AS I AM PLANNING TO ATTEND HER DOCTOR VISIT TUESDAY. SHE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD I DID NOT ASK IF THE SECOND VISIT TO DOCTOR WAS FOR A REDO OF PAPSMEAR OR IF THE DOCOTR HAD PLANNED TO DO SOME OTHER TESTING. SHE EXPRESSED GREAT CONCERN AND I DID NOT WANT TO ALARM HER BY CALLING BACK AND ASKING QUESTIONS. SO COULD YOU HELP?

Im an 18 year old girl and last week I had a pain on my right side from the bottom of my ribcage to my pelvis it felt like a big bruise but nothing was visible. Ive left it a week and now most of the pain has gone except when I touch certain areas and when i move in certain positions. When I lie on my back I can feel a difference on my right side. I t feels like there is a tube which goes up from my pelvis to my ribcage but it is very sore and feels like a lump down my stomach. What can it be? is there something wrong? or am I just paranoid?
