Lump on outside of cervix

I am a 34 year old female, with a history of 3 vaginal births, I have had 1 abnormal PAP in 2000 which was followed by a colposcopy and a LEEP procedure because of precancerous cells. During some foreplay my husband felt a lump on my cervix. Today is May 7th and last night I started bleeding lightly, my period finished 2 weeks ago and bleeding between is not normal for me. I do not have health insurance so I have not been to the doctor yet. I am scared truthfully. I know I need to go espically with the history of pre-cancerous cells. Does it sound like it may be cancer?

Hi There,
it is hard to comment without knowing the physical exam findings.
It is important to get a pap smear and pelvic exam.
if you are getting your exams and pap smears on a regular yearly basis, it is unlikely that a cancer will be present if you have had a normal pap smear within a year.

However, any changes and any abnormal bleeding is a reason to see your doctor again even if you have had a recent normal exam.
best wishes

I am 21 with 1 vaginal birth and have found the same thing on the left side. Am hoping it is benign but there is cancer on both sides of my family. Little worries prayers welcome!
